Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Grandmistress of biblical fiction, Dorr (Abraham and Sarah, Moorings: Ballantine, 1995) offers two superb and compelling accounts of the life and loves of King Solomon. Solomon's Song traces Solomon's love for his father David's intended bride, Shulamit. Political and familial intrigue dominate Dorr's retelling of one of the Bible's least-known love stories. In The Queen of Sheba, Dorr explores in grand detail the relationship of Solomon and Bilqis, the wise queen who shared Solomon's vast wisdom and riches. Dorr's powerful account offers insights into Bilqis's search for truth, love, and faith in a foreign kingdom. In each of these novels, Dorr exercises her considerable skill to unveil the mysteries and passions of the biblical narratives. Highly recommended.

The book is a biblical love story magnified greatly!,
By Sara Joffrion (Tulsa,Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solomon's Song (Hardcover)
Hello, I would just like to comment on one of greatest books I have ever read in my life. An old friend gave my this book to read one day to give me a better look on what love,romance and passion is in a relationship between two people that love each other inspite of culture,destiny and tradition. I was so blessed by this book that I made a copy of the whole book (laugh). the book as that book. I am a 23 and married to a wonderful husband and we are going to go into evangelism but, this book has really touched my heart and it's great to read a love story that is in the word of God come to life. I hope you enjoy this book because I really did.
