Esther: A “Dangerous Beauty” Novel by Angela Hunt
Lovers of historical fiction will appreciate this version of
the story of Hadassah. A beautiful
Jewish orphan girl is raised by her uncle, a scribe in the court of the Persian
king. When the king seeks a beautiful
young woman to be his new queen, Hadassah is among those rounded up--and must
hide her Jewish identity for her own safety.
Hadassah becomes Esther, who wins the heart of the king and
saves her Jewish people at the risk of her own life. Angela Hunt fills in the Biblical account
with her own imagination, informed by research into Persian culture and
history. This inspiring story is an
encouraging reminder of God’s faithfulness to His people.
I received a free review copy of Esther: Royal Beauty from NetGalley.
