Rendition Concering Books Hadassah: One Night with the King (Hadassah #1)

Bestselling author Tommy Tenney expands the extraordinary story of Esther like no novelist has done before. Both a thriller and a Jewish woman's memoir, Hadassah takes readers to ancient Persia (now known as Iran), into the inner sanctum of the palace and back out into the war zones of battle and political intrigue. This gripping drama of a simple peasant girl chosen over many more qualified candidates to become Esther, Queen of Persia, captures the imagination and fires the emotions of men and women alike.

So, I don't often read Biblical fiction but I tried this one. It was okay but I'm not likely to reread it. There were some things that I felt wouldn't be like they were in Biblical times.

Hmmm... what I will point out here, is that Hadassah: One Night with the King was well-written and very interesting. Very stunning novel based on the book of Esther from the Bible.

But then an evil servant of the king tricks the king to make a law to banish and kill the Jewish people. And hadassah was raised around the Jewish world. She knew the king loved her so she convinced the king to make another law to help the Jewish. The book
