From Booklist
Exploring the varieties of love between a man and a woman, as well as the practical aspects of obeying God's commandments, this debut novel by an Israeli sociologist fictionalizes the story of the prophet Samuel. Illuminating ancient Hebrew and Canaanite culture, the tale reminds us that humanity rarely changes, either in its bondage to sex or in its perceived relationship to a creator. Hannah, the mother of Samuel, begs God to open her womb, promising in return to dedicate her first child to him. Thus, her boy Samuel grows up in the temple, blessed with wisdom but cursed with an unholy desire for his father's first wife. Falling somewhere between the feminist slant of Diamont's Red Tent (1997) and Edghill's more romanticized Queenmaker (2001), this dramatic retelling of Samuel's story, which reminds the reader that even God's beloved servants are susceptible to temptation, may offend the sensibilities of devout Christians and Jews alike, but its sensuous detail and emphasis on human foibles will appeal to those who prefer more secularized interpretations of biblical history.
