This was pretty okay, but not a standout in the "Biblical stories retold from the perspective of peripheral female characters" genre. Not like The Red Tent, which broke my heart and I still remember how it ends. I think The Red Tent is the standard against which all such Biblical novels from a female perspective shall be held.
Also, this book offered no insight--none at all!--into the question: how, exactly, did they repopulate the earth when Noah's sons apparently had nothing but sons? No daughters mentioned at all, or other women who miraculously survived. I would consider this a major plot hole. Hmph.
In happier book news, I just received two shipments from amazon: five books that I'm totally psyched to read. A Mrs. Pollifax, a Patricia McKillip, a few sequels. Five books that I'm excited about, all at once! My cup runneth over.
PS. This is book #93 for the year. I rock. \m/
