Title: Disappointing Distortion
Review: This book was a disappointing distortion of the biblical facts of Jacob and his family. If you are Jewish or Christian this book can easily offend you. The idea of an historical fiction is meant to take the historical facts about a person and then embellish the details about their true historical story without changing the spirit of what we already know. This book did NOT do that. It took the biblical facts about Jacob and his family and changed them from a family who worshiped the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham in to a pagan family. The information about the customs and communities of Jewish women of that time period could have been very interesting if the facts of this story had not been butchered.
