THORN IN MY HEART

Set in eighteenth-century Scotland, THORN IN MY HEART is a fascinating story of betrayal, redemption, and love. Taken directly from the Old Testament, the characters mirror the lives of Jacob, Esau, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. With a strong Scots brogue, narrator Laural Merlington brings the characters to life and makes clear the parallels with the original biblical stories. Both the plot and the characters are engaging, especially in the hands of Merlington. The addition of an expert narrator makes this a work well worth the time to listen.
