Sarah

Orson Scott Card

Salt Lake City, UT: Shadow Mountain, 2000

  • Orson Scott Card: Author
Novel, Scripture-based Fiction
Sarah (Biblical matriarch)--Fiction; Abraham (Biblical patriarch)--Fiction; Bible. O.T.--History of Biblical events--Fiction; Women in the Bible--Fiction.
In Sarah, author Orson Scott Card uses his fertile imagination and uncanny insight into human nature to flesh out a unique woman--one who is beautiful, tough, smart, and resourceful in an era when women get short shrift in life as well as in the historical record. Sarah takes on vivid reality as a woman desirable to kings, a devoted wife, and a faithful follower of the God of Abraham, chosen to experience an incomparable miracle. Set in the splendor and excess of Egypt and the starkly beautiful desert landscapes of the Sinai peninsula, Sarah is an altogether believable and provocative drama. This first novel in a trilogy on the women of Genesis illuminates the hardships and the triumphs of a woman destined for greatness. [publisher's blurb]
