so-soI liked the first part of the book better than the second half. it all tied together nicely in the end, I suppose, but I initially found the bits about Egypt a bit disjointed compared to the first half. overall it was an enjoyable read.

pickI read this book many years ago, and felt compelled to re-read it. I'm happy to say I loved it just as much as I did back then. A beautiful and enduring story, worthy of reading over and over. 💜
pickThis was a great retelling of the Biblical story of Tamar.
Fourteen year old Tamar is betrothed to Ur, the son of Judah. She is terribly mistreated by her husband and mother in law.
Worst of all, she is left widowed and childless.
Tamar does what she feels is best to insure an heir for the family of Judah.
Someone mentioned their favorite book with “moon“ in the title, which made me think of mine. I feel so lucky my childhood library had this somewhat obscure series! (My own copy has no bookcover, so I found this one online.)

pickSuch a beautiful, heartbreaking book!
pickSo I am horribly late for mays #bookedintime - sorry!This was a compelling story of Rahab a prostitute who survived the fall@of Jericho and went on to marry Salome. Christian fiction is not something I have ever really read but I did enjoy the strong message of faith, forgiveness and more.
pickThis deserved all of the accolades and honors and awards it won. Beautiful book. Great story, fabulous writing, characters with some depth.
A retelling/twist on the Old Testament story of Jacob. It is not his story but that of his only daughter,Dinah. Told from her point of view and it is her life. I love the way Diamant takes this briefly mentioned in the Bible character and creates this entire life for her.
4.5⭐️ badass females all around.
