The Gilded Chamber : A Novel of Queen Esther

This book will appeal to readers interested in historical and Biblical fiction. It is very well written and much of the historical data appears to be accurate. However, I personally do not like this book at all, because there are very serious inaccuraces. One glaring example is the portrayal of Mordechai as a highly assimilated "mover and shaker."

However, if you have enjoyed other mainstream books which portray Biblical women with details of their every day lives and tell their stories in an interesting, easy access manner, you will love this book.
