I did not read the other two books in this trilogy but it didn't impede my enjoyment of this one. This is a well written story which uses the Bible as it's base for the telling the story. I know the author is Jewish so I am sure he knows the history of that people better than I do. I had not heard of Lilah before but I do know the story of Ezra and the building of the temple. It is a well written book that will have you asking questions about bias and true love.

I've read the other two books in this series. The author brings the biblical heroines alive. I highly recommend this book and the others in the series. Excellent reading.

Ok, I started this book in February and finally finished it in March. Since this is a very short book, that should tell you something. Lilah is the 3rd and final book in a series by Marek Halter on women of the Old Testament. This particular book is about the sister of Ezra. It starts off great, but about the middle it goes downhill. I understand that the author is trying to cover long periods of time by having Lilah look back on things through a letter, but it is very unsatisfying. The story was really good up to that point but it seems to loose all it's power to enthrall once she starts writing her letter. Honestly if this had been the 1st book in the series, I would not have read the other ones.

This is the final book of the Canaan trilogy, and I did not really enjoy it as much as the others. The story was disjointed, and it wasn't as interesting as the others. I highly recommend his other two books, but you could skip this one and not miss much.
