5.0 out of 5 stars And then she became Queen of Persia..., May 31, 2000
By 
This review is from: Esther (Hardcover)
Norah Lofts knows how to write a good book. In "Esther" she takes the biblical story of the young Jewess who saved her people from annihilation and turns it into a love story. The King of Persia is looking for a new wife and he sets about doing it in a very unusual way. Esther is one of many girls who are chosen to go to the King's palace and await an audience. The audience will take place every evening, giving each girl a chance to impress the King with her beauty and talents. The King will decide there and then if the girl is to be the next Queen of Persia. Esther eventually wins the heart and mind of the King, and thus becomes his Queen. The King is unaware of her Jewish heritage, as is his favourite Hamen whose secretly plots their demise by manipulating the King into sign their death warrant. It is up to Esther to save her people, and this she does, with wit, charm, wisdom, and a healthy dose of female cunning. "Esther" is an enjoyable read that tells a biblical story from a fictional point of view. A great book to read, and well worth looking out for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, December 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Esther (Hardcover)
I couldn't put this book down. Norah Lofts did a wonderful job of expanding the Biblical story without changing it. The book is about Esther's ascension to the Persian throne as Artaxerxes queen. It discusses how she was chosen as queen and how she saved her people from death. It is a remarkable story and told exceedingly well.
