A friend suggested I read it and asked my opinion, so I did, and here it is: I am torn. It is a good, engaging read. If you take it as a work of pure fiction where real people's names and geneologies where used, it is good. If you look at the Biblical stories, the author takes many liberties and is downright offensive in her liberties, clearly opposing the Biblical facts. Parts of the book made me downright angry when she did this.
Overall, it's a good read and a thoughtful look into the lives of women during that period of history.
From a Biblical standpoint - it is full of falsehoods and Biblical contradictions.
