I don't know much about Rahab and the story of Jericho - other than the walls fell down and the Israelites were victorious. But Joan Wolf has a way with words. The city jumps off the pages, from the crowded and congested lower city, to the pristine temples of Baal and Ashera.Rahab is a very fascinat...

I am really loving this series of book about the lives of women from the bible. While I'm sure much of it is dramatized to help fill in the blanks in their stories, the way Joan Wolf brings them to life is amazing. She keeps them true to their story while filling in the little details to really brin...

Everytime I pick up a Joan Wolf old skool trad regency I am reminded all over again what a gifted writer she is. She manages to pack a wealth of romance, story and character in a little over 200 pages. Not a word is wasted. And she doesn't do pure fluff. Her books have a lot of depth to them. ...

A creampuff of a novel that tries to take a Jewish story and make it somewhat Christian. The writing is leaden and slow, the author mangles most of the story (Esther's real name is never given, she eats pork (!!!), the real reason that Haman wants to kill all the Jews, the king rewarding Mordecai, b...

Not sure I understand the rave reviews with this one. I found the characters rather one-note and the plot lacked a lot of depth. It felt like a summary of a romance novel. Is this because this is a "category Signet" romance rather than a full length one? I don't know...but that's how I felt. I did ...
