Helpful Score: 3

I picked this up at a recent library sale and am glad I did. Being familiar with the biblical tale of Esther this book looked like it would interest me. I was totally capitivated by Kohn's story of Esther - before she became queen and after the death of King Xerxes. The 'bare bones' story that I know (and love) about this woman has been fully fleshed out and Esther came alive to me as I read this.

As the cover says this story evokes "The Red Tent" and "Memoirs of a Geisha", I am sure anyone who's read those books would probably enjoy this book as well.
