Finalist, 2015 National Jewish Book Award
Honorable Mention, Sophie Brody Medal, American Library Association
One of the Jewish Book Council''s "15 fiction books that shaped Jewish literature in 2015"
“Lemberger imbues her characters with a consciousness that, although taking place in ancient times, seems contemporary, because she brings such empathy to her characters… It is this act of empathy that shines through…. an alternative dialogue that reminds us that it is the stories that we tell that are civilization’s true heritage.” — FORBES
Eve considers motherhood.
Miriam tends Moses.
Lot''s wife looks back.
Vividly reimagined with startling contemporary clarity, Michal Lemberger''s debut collection of short stories gives voice to silent, oft-marginalized biblical women: their ambitions, their love for their children, their values, their tremendous struggles and challenges. Informed by Lemberger''s deep knowledge of the Bible, each of these nine stories recasts a biblical saga from the perspective of a pivotal woman.
