English Summary/英文概要: One of Ancient Israel’s Most Famous Women - As You’ve Never Looked at Her Before
One of the Bible’s most misunderstood and misjudged women, Bathsheba comes to life in this new biblical reimagining from Angela Hunt. Combining historical facts with detailed fiction, this is an eye-opening portrait that will have you reconsidering everything you thought you knew about her.
After receiving God’s promise of a lifelong reign and an eternal dynasty, King David forces himself on Bathsheba, a loyal soldier’s wife. When her resulting pregnancy forces the king to murder her husband and add her to his harem, Bathsheba struggles to protect her son while dealing with the effects of a dark prophecy and deadly curse on the king’s household.
Chinese Summary/中文概要:
Awards/获奖情况:“Hunt sticks to the biblical narrative and doesn’t attempt to resolve all the contradictions in David’s character; she is tethered to a proto-Gothic story of one mightily dysfunctional royal family. The target female audience may be troubled by Bathsheba’s tendency to blame herself for David’s predation. On the whole, Bathsheba is more fully realized than the storied hero-king of Israel, and to Hunt’s credit she makes a familiar story a pageturner.” —Publishers Weekly
“Angela Hunt has done a great deal of research, and a lengthy list of references is provided. Her portrayals of King David and the lovely Bathsheba are quite human, and lovers of inspirational fiction will no doubt enjoy this retelling of their story.“—Historical Novel Society
"Hunt astounds readers and ignites their imagination. This is the most realistic rendition of Bathsheba’s inner circle of relationships." —RT Book Reviews 4?? stars Top Pick
