The Egyptian Chronicles, Book 2
This is the story of Joseph just before his release from prison—for a crime he didn’t commit—and up through the famine.
It’s a beautifully written story told in multiple viewpoints. The author’s attention to historical detail and tradition amazed me. I’ve read the Biblical account that is the background for this story many times and the historical and cultural insights brought me a whole new perspective.
Those familiar sections of Joseph’s Biblical story were the parts that gripped me most in this novel. Characters are well-developed and believably true to the times. The setting is a turbulent period in history that moves quickly. Well done!
Recommended for readers of Biblical fiction!
