I want to start a new feature alerting you to good books that I’ve found. Not all of them will have a Give Away Drawing.
This time I want to recommend From An Orphan to a Queen: Esther by Titi Horsfall (www.titihorsfall.com, Deep River Books).
Obviously, from the title, we know it’s a novel about Esther. I love biblical novels and especially when they are about women of the Bible. I think this novel is exceptional. It was awarded the Certificate of Merit from the Deep River Books 2011 Writer’s Contest and I can understand why.
Ms. Horsfall is excellent at bringing out details and setting up the plot to suggest the motives of the characters. I haven’t yet read a book about Esther that gives as many details about Esther’s life and those around her. Plus, the writer fully describes scenes and setting: like the palace where Esther lived.
Of course, we don’t know a lot of details about Esther and her life, so Ms. Horsfall has used a lot of her imagination to go into so much detail. But I found her ideas and conclusions very believable. Only in heaven will we find out the truth about Esther’s life.
Check out this book.
