This contemporary retelling of the Biblical story of David and Bathsheba gripped my attention from the beginning.
David Kingston, a divorced billionaire in charge of an international corporation, sees Elizabeth swimming at night from his high-rise New York City penthouse apartment. Her husband, who works for David, is on a business trip.
An adulterous affair leads to pregnancy. David’s reputation as a Christian businessman will be destroyed if the press discovers he’s the father.
There are sensual scenes in this inspirational novel that make this an adult story. Yet it is also a story of redemption and forgiveness.
Key aspects of David and Bathsheba, including the similarity of names, are part of the novel.
Characters are realistic and flawed. Their plight worsens with each twist, making this book a page-turner.
I will look for more by this author.
