Impressive accomplishments by this woman who had to hide her racial identity.

A bit too much like a romance novel at times and the flowery descriptions of society events and wardrobe weren’t of interest to me.

For fans of The Red Tent and The Dovekeepers, India Edghill breathes new life into the biblical story of Vashti and Esther with her signature historical richness, epic scope, and sweeping romance. You may know part of the story already, but you only know what history has passed along. The story of how Vashti, queen of queens, the most beautiful woman in all the empire, defied the king, her husband, and so lost her crown.

Not worth your time

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
A glimpse into this time period with the author's take on some biblical characters was interesting.
