“Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.” -Matthew Henry

A Reluctant Queen: The Love Story of Esther

"You've read it as a biblical tale of courage. Experience it anew as a heart-stirring love story...She was a simple girl faced with an impossible choice. He was a magnificent king with a lonely heart. Their love was the divine surprise that changed the course of history.The beloved story of Esther springs to fresh life in this inspired novel that vibrates with mystery, intrigue and romance."

Since I was a child in Sunday-School, Esther has been one of my favorite Old Testament stories. This historical fiction portal of Esther's story was great! While the story is not totally  biblically accurate, it is very entertaining. The spin Joan Wolf gives Queen Esther's story is sure to give any historical fiction fanatic a great read. I give this novel 3/5 stars!!!
