The spellbinding story of a gifted king and the woman he loved but could not have, this book is the first novel in Dorr's acclaimed trilogy of the House of David. Told from Bathsheba's perspective, Dorr brings to life the passion that almost cost David his kingdom--and tested a people's courage and faith in God.

GREAT Historical Romance,
This review is from: David and Bathsheba (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked David and Bathsheba up at a used book store, not knowing what to expect out of an out of print and unknown author, and I couldn't have been more surprised. This book isn't just an ordinary historical romance with the same predictable plodding plot. The love story, which isn't a typical one to begin with, as I will explain later, is colored richly with details of Bible-era Israel--from everything to the peoples' everyday way of life to details of the Jewish religion. Dorr brilliantly merges reality with folklore as she tells the story of the two great lovers of the Biblical era: King David and his wife Bathsheba. The book starts out with Bathsheba as a young girl and David as a strong willed rebellious military leader. It details the way they meet and follows them all the way through their difficulties. God is constantly involved in the affairs of the people and Dorr raises an interesting question: should one should trust God or himself, and is it okay to do both
