Title: clever invention of traditions.........
Review: This is a passingly interesting story about the lives of women in Biblical times. It was supposedly based on historical facts, but that proves to be inaccurate. Many of the times, places and traditions are clearly just clever inventions by the author to move her novel along. If you read this as pure fiction, as the story of a diverse family of women experiencing both the harsh realities, joy and hardship of their time it is entertaining. If read with an eye toward any historical accuracy, it will be disappointing.
