This book. This book is just what I want in historical and biblical fiction. It takes the building blocks of a well-known Bible Story and builds around it without changing the original story. There wasn’t a moment where I felt like Mesu Andrews crossed a line. You can tell that she has great respect for the source material.
This book caught my eye because it was in the Christian Fiction section of Barnes & Noble. It’s beautiful cover was faced out and I was intrigued by the idea of a Christian version of Rapunzel. When I looked inside the dust jacket, the blurb at the top convinced me to buy it: “The one who needs rescuing isn’t always the one in the tower.” This made me curious about how Melanie Dickerson was going to turn the story upside down.
