Publisher's Description
▼▲From master storyteller Walter Wangerin, Jr. comes this familiar biblical saga told in a fresh, transfixing way. Youll feel youve never heard it before! Melding historical accuracy with imaginative detail, Wangerin uses the biblical books of Judges and Ruth to explore themes of love, faith, grief and community set against a backdrop of war and political instability. The widow Naomi grieves the deaths of her two adult sons after the shocking murder of a beloved adopted daughter, while pondering her responsibilities toward her Moabite daughters-in-law. Ancient Israel is in chaos. When her daughter-in-law, Ruth, begs to return to Israel with Naomi, events are set in motion that will change the course of history. But wait…this isnt the tame, flannel graph story you heard in Sunday School. In the tradition of Anita Diamants The Red Tent and Elissa Elliotts Eve: A Novel of the First Woman, Wangerin imbues his tale with strong female characters and an earthy realism that gives the timeless Old Testament narrative so much power. Youll find echoes of contemporary issues throughout: deceit, heartbreak, loss, war, and, of course, the power of love. Naomis combined strength and tenderness becomes the pivot upon which a nation turns; her decisions ultimately lead to the founding of the family lineage of Jesus Christ. Breathtaking descriptions, shocking violence, and inspirational courage make this spellbinding novel by a beloved award-winning author a story you wont soon forget. Its the perfect novel for your book group, and a satisfying read for those who love thoughtful biblical fiction.
