Miriam

This is a beautiful fictional retelling of the biblical story of Miriam, Moses’ sister! I love stories of history instilled with the imagination. It’s a memorable novel with powerful choices and emotional decisions.

Miriam, by Mesu Andrews, is the second book in the Treasures Of The Nile series (following The Pharoah’s Daughter.) After reading this novel, I hope to go back and read this author’s other works.

The author has written vivid scenes of Old Testament happenings, during the deliverance of the Israelites and the plaques that follow.

I feel I’ve visited Egypt during these times, and experienced the emotions, fears, and frustrations. That’s what a book is supposed to do—make you feel something…and this novel makes me feel a myriad of things.

This is a beautifully written book.
