Summary: 5 Stars
In ten short stories, Marlee Pinsker lends a new voice to the women of the bible - those whose lives are given short shrift in the original text. These are beautiful, imaginative and spiritual imaginings of how these women might have felt, of the spirit, wisdom, humor and love they might have had. The lyrical and poetic language quickly draws the reader into the lives of each character. And so we are exposed to an Eve who was full of wonder and curiosity at all she saw around her, a Naamah who understood the language of the animals on the ark, a Leah who was full of love, and jealousy, for her sister Rachel. Each story stands on its own, yet each is connected by an invisible thread that evokes the feeling of family history being told. Gorgeous illustrations that are both muted and richly detailed lend a sense of grace to these tales. REVIEWED BY NANCY AUSTEIN (Temple Emanu-El, Dallas, TX)
