This book is about David's first wife, Michal, the daughter of Saul whom David bested and became the second king of Israel. Little is known about Michal in the contemporary world. However Edghill brings out all of her qualities and made her a living being full of blood and passion. And what a wonderful story she has woven among the verses of scriptures. Don't get me wrong, this is NOT a biography, it's a wonderful written novel of fiction ~~ of what might have been. And it's so fast-paced too ~~ I couldn't put the book down and hated to go to work! It seems to interfere with my reading time!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about the women of the Bible. I found it fascinating and witty and fun ~~ Edghill makes history breathe again. I am anxiously awaiting her next book!
