The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks

3.0

i really wanted to love this book. her other books, especially "people of the book" , are some of my favorite books of all time. for all of the care she gives the history of tje Jewish people in "people", this one treats the history as geounds for personal political agendas. she crafts a father of Judaism as the perfect modern liberal.
