Review:
From the Back Cover:
"A powerful and unique take on the biblical story, Wisdom's Daughter brings readers into the biblical world through a feminist perspective. Edghill's strong female characters, good and evil, leave their mark on history and on us. Edghill opens new vistas for readers and makes us think more about the matriarchs, not just the patriarchs, of the Bible. Brava!" --Romantic Times BookClub Magazine
"Vividly evoking ancient Israel and Sheba, Edghill deftly transforms the brief biblical account into an absorbing story replete with intrigue, love, and villains. . . . Persuasive and intriguing." --Kirkus Reviews
"Think The Red Tent, only much better." --Rocky Mountain News (Denver)
"Wisdom's Daughter will appeal to the Red Tent crowd, both for its emphasis on the role of women in ancient Israel and for the author's ability to bring history to life. Edghill transforms a didactic fable, the story of King Solomon and his brief interaction with the Queen of Sheba, into a powerful love story." --Jennifer Baker, Booklist
Praise for Queenmaker: A Novel of King David's Queen by India Edghill
"With her vivid attention to historical detail, Edghill keeps readers captivated.... A majestic debut."
- People magazine
"Think The Red Tent, only much better."
- Rocky Mountain News (Denver)
"A riveting debut tale...In the tradition of Anita Diamant's The Red Tent---and as good."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Excellent writing, dynamic character, and galloping pace...highly recommended."
- Library Journal
"A tantalizing glimpse into the past."
- Publishers Weekly
"Splendid."
- Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of The Mists of Avalon
"Queenmaker beguiles not only because it opens our eyes to the pure ordinariness of mythical figures, but it also exposes the foolishness and shortsighted passion that can make fools of the most exalted heroes. Its greatest richness is in creating the courage, compassion, and sheer canniness of the shadow queen, Michal, the betrothed bride of King David, the Eleanor of Aquitaine of the Bible, a monarch in full."
- Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean
