Rachel & Leah by Orson Scott Card

4.0

this book has been on my TBR pile for years and i finally!! got around to reading it!! what it does is it fleshes the biblical narrative and tells the story through the four women’s eyes—rachel, leah, and their handmaidens—kinda like a four-way bildungsroman. it was immersive and convincing, the characters were complex and well-written, and i also liked how the repeated references to jacob tricking esau out of his inheritance kinda suggests that the bridal switch was karmic retribution. highkey wna read the two earlier books in the series now!!
