Title: Harvest of Rubies
Author: Tessa Afshar
Genre: Biblical fiction
Rating: 5 stars
Harvest of Rubies is the second book by Tessa Afshar her first book
was Pearl in the Sand the story of Rahab. In Harvest of Rubies Tessa tells the story
of Sarah Nehemiah’s cousin who unlike
most women of the time can read and write and speak many languages. She becomes
the main scribe to the queen. The story sort of reminded me of the Biblical story
of Esther. That Sarah become the queen’s scribe when the queen needed her most,
because Sarah discovered a plot against the queen.
What I love about Tessa Afshar
is that when she writes novel she remains as close to the Biblical record as
possible. Ms. Afshar makes her characters come alive and allows the reader to
be drawn into the story. Harvest of
Rubies is a fiction read that will entertain you, but it will also encourage
you. Tessa Afshar books in my opinion will encourage you to pick up your Bible
to confirm that she stays true to the Biblical account as much as possible.
I enjoyed reading Harvest of Rubies and look forward to the
next book from Tessa Afshar.
I was given a free copy for my kindle from
Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
