Helpful Score: 2
What a fascinating story! I am astounded and amazed. The Well is a wonderful novel with great characters and many surprises. What an outstanding book of Biblical fiction! I highly recommend it.
The history and geography of these Bible lands is vividly depicted in such graphic detail that it is easy to picture the story taking place, as if the reader is right there in Samaria and Galilee. The characters are full of life and are very real.
As Christians, we are probably all familiar with the story of Jesus and the woman at the well. In The Well, the story is told from the viewpoint of her daughter, Mara. Through her eyes this story comes alive.
I am particularly impressed with the character of Jesus and how he is portrayed, along with the reactions and behavior of the common people. If you enjoy Biblical fiction, please give this book your time. You will not be disappointed.
