Title: Author has a Very Limited Vocabulary
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. Maybe because I finished reading Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles just before reading "Sarah". The comparison between these two historical fiction writers is night and day. Dunnett is truly a historical writer. Halter is not. Halter has a finite list of words he (she?) employs, whilst Dunnett's is limitless and far more entertaining.I feel the author didn't develop the characters well (I couldn't ever really like Sarah and the author never adequately explained to my why Abraham loved her), paint a vivid historical picture for me or accomplish much with this story.Halter does not give the reader a good time frame. He uses phrases like "some time later". But does that mean some years, seasons, months, weeks, days, or hours? It bothered me that I could not tell what kind of time lapse was occuring.Don't bother spending your money on this book. It's not worth it. Check it out at the library if you feel you must read it.
