SARAH Women of Genesis Series

Many people know the story of Sarah and Abraham from Genesis, which covers their journeys, beliefs, and faith. Card takes the biblical narrative and makes it a historical novel, using details from oral tradition and apocryphal literature, ancient history, and archaeological finds. Gabrielle de Cuir weaves beauty into the story, giving Sarah a strong personality and voicing her personal doubts. Abraham and Hagar, Lot and Eleazar are also concretely rendered. There is a short epilogue presented by Card, describing the sources for his work. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 05]
