'Once again, Corinne Brixton has vividly brought to life the world, events and people of ancient Israel. Her great skill is to do this by focusing in on the lives of actual people, 'minor' characters imaginatively fleshed out, persuasively and engagingly portrayed against an impeccably researched background. In doing so, and with a light touch, she airs some of the biggest questions: what is God's meaning in the things that happen? And what might faithful people yet hope for?' J. Gordon McConville, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Theology, University of Gloucestershire
