Aya is a talent singer, who longs for more than marriage and children. A marriage is arranged for her to a scholar, Avidan, who moves her to the bustling streets of Jerusalem, close to her brother Sha'ul.
A compelling Biblical novel, I liked how it follows Aya, Sha'ul, and Avidan through the years. Jerusalem is full of unrest with the Romans pushing their control, while Yeshua and his followers are bringing division. Aya grows into her role as a wife, and I liked how she reads along with her husband, as well as her determination to make a home for her son in hard times.
Well written novel that brings to life the time period, with the tensions between the Jews and the Romans, and the way that Yeshua fulfills the promises of the Old Testament. A beautiful story of hope in the days of the early church.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
