Isaiah's Daughter
A Novel Of Prophets & Kings
by Mesu Andrews
Biblical fiction is a genre that has really grown on me over the years. I'm still a little wary, I guess, of trying new authors but Mesu Andrews is one that I know and trust. Her compelling characters, her truly exquisite attention to detail, and her way of bringing the Holy Land and the Bible to life without compromising Biblical fact, are just amazing.
To be honest, when I started Isaiah's Daughter I really didn't remember having heard of Hephzibah before. I remembered reading about King Hezekiah asking God, and receiving, 15 more years to live, and having read the book of Isaiah, but that was it. Needless to say, reading this novel has caused me to want to dive back into the Old Testament to see what else I might have missed, as well as find out more about the historical and archaeological evidence.
Like the Bible, Isaiah's Daughter was sometimes hard to read. Not because it was dry and dull but because of the evil things, and the consequences of them, done by those who knew better. I was so emotionally engaged in the story that my heart hurt for these people, even though they were actually fictional and fictionalized characters.
If you are looking for a beautiful, sometimes heart-wrenching, story. The story of a girl who, like we all do, longs to be valuable, to be truly loved. This is the book for you. As you turn that last page you will be simply amazed, and blessed, by Mesu Andrews's superb storytelling and by her very message itself.
