The story of Esther really comes to life in this historical novel! Even knowing the basic story ahead of time, I was caught up in how events unfolded. I loved all the rich historical details and while I realize many aspects of the story are fictional, it was easy to visualize and think of these Biblical characters as real people. I loved it!
