Title: NOAZIM March Book Club Pick
Product review: We are reading this book for our March Jewish 20s/30s Book Club. I loved it.I thought it was a wonderful, midrashic-style retelling of the story of Esther. It is engaging, and the author successfully draws the reader into the characters.What I enjoyed the most about the book is it doesn't sugar-coat the story. The story of Esther is told to children, we have Purim carnivals and kids dress up and play ~ and that is all well and good but the story is really an adult story of love and betrayal, of hatered and strength, and of that which is hidden and that which is revealed.This book is a must-read for Jewish book groups, and highly recommended in general!We have also read: The Monday the Rabbi Took Off, I Asked for Wonder, The Covenant, Destined to Choose, and Matches. Each a very different book, all have led to fabulous and thought-provoking discussions.
