The Scent of Bright Light - Jean K. Dudek - Bog

Bag om The Scent of Bright Light

Sarah's infertility is a heavy weight over her life. Her situation looks even more hopeless when she is trapped for years in the harem of an Egyptian Pharoah. Upon being freed, Pharoah gives Sarah a little girl who was born in the harem, named Ta-Sherit. The mysterious God who speaks to Sarah and her husband, Abraham, seems to have great power and has promised them a multitude of descendants. But Sarah is old and getting older, and still has not given birth. In this novel, Sarah tells her story through the lens of her relationship with Ta-Sherit, whom she loves and raises like a daughter--while others nickname the Egyptian girl ""Hagar"" and view her as a servant. In this creative reimagining of an ancient family drama, the biblical text becomes a new story when it comes from Sarah in her own voice.
