Sarah by Marek Halter
3.0
Marek Halter's Sarah is the first book in a trilogy of novels centered around the strong, supporting women of the Bible. Halter's book contains smooth and descriptive language, making it an incredibly easy read. The reader is swept away immediately with his ability to immerse the reader fully. The way Halter portrays Sarah as a great heroine and a tremendous supporter of her husband, Abraham (possibly even the motivator behind his decisions) works well.
The story does contain strong sexual themes, but I see nothing wrong with this as sex is a natural and essential part to the birth of a religion and a people. However, Halter presents the story, sex and all, as an almost religious Harlequin novel that religious women need not feel guilty for reading.
