It's a guy story, a historical tale set in ancient Israel. It's based on the Biblical tale of Deborah and Barak from the book of Judges. It tells the tale of Uriah, a young Hittite man who journeys to the land of Canaan and gets involved in the events there. It's an interesting and enjoyable tale. Ms. Williamson's plan was to write a story that brought the historical time to life, to show how the various peoples of that era were interrelated. She's done a great job of it. Check it out. --J. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

As the young Hittite ends up spending time amongst the various peoples of his time, he finds himself liking individuals, even if he doesn't understand their beliefs and practices. We also see the meshing of history and events and how they affected the people who lived in them. Young Uriah has a crisis of faith in the gods, and ends up choosing the God of the Israelites, he is a very likable young man all through the book. ( )
