Excellent Biblical Fiction
The Garden of Ruth enhances the biblical story of Ruth and her descendants. Eva Etzioni-Halevy's style is to embellish the biblical story by weaving a story arround the "missing links" and unanswered questions. Her success in blurring the lines is so effective that at times I found it hard to distinguish between what was biblical accuracy and what was indeed fictional. The story line, the mystery ...

I was transported!
For the short time it took me to read this book (I couldn't put it down), I was totally transported in time and place. Was this what life was really like for these Biblical characters? Etzioni-Halevy certainly gives us some food for thought and she does it in such a perfectly composed manner that you feel their joy, their sadness, their anger. I loved The Garden of Ruth and can't wait to read the ...
