This was such a tragic, yet well written book, and it gave me a chance to really consider what life may have been like in the biblical times. Not to mention the whole new perspective it gave me on the story of Joseph. What a different view from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," let me tell you. No happy, Joseph Mega-Mix songs at the end of this story. It's good to hear stories of women told as they are, without trying to sugar-coat it or hide the truth of pain and life and love. It's hard to imagine someone surviving so many losses and so much tragedy, but then, everyone has their own losses, just usually not as horrible as that. I could not believe the horror of the sons of Jacob - even though I knew that Joseph would eventually be sold into slavery. It still amazes me that people could do such terrible things to other human beings. ::sigh:: Anyway, it's a very good book, albeit a tad depressing, and you should definitely read it - though I think my copy will be a keeper.
