I was engrossed in this book up until shortly after it diverged from the biblical account. The author seemed to take the novel in a direction that, while interesting in some ways,veered off too much from what I expected for no logical reason that I could determine. Sheer whim, I suppose. I never did finish the book, maybe it would have picked up if I had stuck it out. I know the original story is sketchy on the details so one has to grant the author some imaginative license but, to me, it has to follow some logical/intuitive path all the same. It is a well-written story though and many of the reviews I read prior to ordering the book were positive.
