A quick read, the book pulls one of the many invisible women of the Old Testament into the spot light. Focusing on Michal as she learns to live with David and, later, to manipulate him, the book draws on sparse references to tell a story that shows David as a narcissist.

I love historical fiction, especially from Ancient Israel. Michal , Bathsheba and King David seem so human. The bible story comes to life in this well written book.

I really enjoyed this historical fiction about King David's first wife, Michal, daughter of King Saul. In this story, told in first person by Michal, she is a good friend to friend to David's mistress Bathsheba, the mother of the next king, Solomon.

I'd like to read other novels by India Edghill based on Old Testament women.… (plus d'informations)
