I agree with a previous reviewer who said the author made the "good" people (Sarah, Abraham, Lot) almost TOO good and the "bad" people (Quira, Hagar) too self-absorbed and obviously wrong. Don't know if this was a male author thing, but it detracted from the story. The writing was middle-of-the-road stuff. I doubt that I'll read the other books in the series. ( ) The author has done his research on women in the old testament of the Bible. He said that some of the information contradicted other documents so he made decisions also based on what made good fiction. I like that he is paying attention to women who don't get much credit or much mention in the Bible. This made for interesting reading starting with Sarai being a young girl in her father's home (a former king). Abram (later called Abraham) arranges the marriage of Sarai''s (later Sarah) sister to Lot. Abram promises to return within 10 years to marry Sarai and does so. Card had two other books in this series, Rebekkah and Rachel & Leah. I am not particularly religious but have liked other books about characters in the Bible. These books made these people and their lives real and explains how the stories about them may have started. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

From bestselling author Orson Scott Card comes a vivid and imaginative portrayal of the biblical Sarah, Abraham's loyal wife and Isaac's loving mother. Forced finally to share her husband after a lifetime of devotion, rebuked by the Lord for her unbelief, and grappling with fears that her beloved Isaac will be displaced by Hagar's Ishmael, Sarah is nonetheless a triumphant figure. Covering the events recorded in Genesis up to the birth of Isaac and Sarah's confrontation with Hagar, this first of a series of novels on biblical women is an epic tale of loyalty and resilience before God and before Abraham.
