I've always enjoyed historical fiction, but this book brought me to a whole new level. I don't know as much about life during biblical times as I'd like to know. I found a woman's perspective intriguing and insightful. I know much of this tale is fictionalized, but just catching a glimpse of Jacob (yes, the very Jacob with a son who wore a colorful coat) and his family and what life might have been like for them was fantastic. I probably won't go to church on Sunday and begin discussing the 12 tribes of Israel, however, I will appreciate their lifestyle a little more. Wonderful. Descriptive. Exciting. Tragic. Magical. Well done.
Not a read for a younger audience, but no content an adult wouldn't appreciate (I think).
