“In this wonderfully detailed book, Geraldine Brooks brings to complex life the biblical story of King David of Israel. I was captivated by Brooks’s depiction of this famous man’s life and easily drawn back to his times and trials. Geraldine Brooks is so good at it, bringing history alive with depth, color, and texture, and we are right there in the narrative and the telling of it all.”

“This is historical fiction at its best! During his reign in the 2nd Iron Age in Israel, King David is exposed for all his greatness as well as all his flaws. Simply a beautifully written book.”
–Judy de Jonge, Queen Anne Book Company, Seattle, WA
