Here is my review of this work of Biblical fiction:
First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Joan Wolf and her publisher for sending me a copy of "A Reluctant Queen" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.
“A Reluctant Queen” by Joan Wolf is a dramatic interpretation of the Biblical story of Queen Esther. This tale, however, is centered on the romance of the story. Although this novel is well-written, I was unable to fall head-over-heels in love with this story. Esther’s Jewish persona, Hadassah, is completely lost, and there is some early confusion regarding the identity of Ahasuerus/Xerxes.
I almost wish that this story would have been written with the same story line, but different character names. That way I wouldn’t be so caught up with the Bible story that I know and love so well and the differences between this story and the Biblical tale.
