The story of Ruth told through the eyes of Osnath, a niece of the prophet Samuel. This book is really told in 2 halves. The story of Osnath and the story of Ruth as Osnath discovers it in old scrolls. The author makes the characters interesting, but at times I am disquieted by the ease with which she seems to make all the characters with some dishonor. No one really appears to be honorable although she tries to redeem them in the end.
