Afshar's well-drawn characters and lushly detailed setting vividly bring to life the ancient world of the Bible. A solid choice for fans of Francine Rivers and Bodie and Brock Thoene.
Afshar (In the Field of Grace) fleshes out the gospel story (Luke 8:43–48) of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus's garment. Readers will be moved by Elianna's faith, and Afshar's elegant evocation of biblical life will keep them spellbound. An excellent choice for fans of Francine Rivers's historical fiction, and those who read for character.
Afshar (Pearl in the Sand) evenly strikes a balance between the protagonist's faith in God and her own skills in surviving her trials. Fans of Bodie and Brock Thoene and Anita Diamant will enjoy this sumptuous historical saga that is also a stirring romance.
Afshar, an Iranian-born Christian convert, has done her research in this retelling of the Old Testament story. In addition to crafting a well-written tale, she pays particular attention to historical details and setting. This superb debut should appeal to readers who enjoyed Davis Bunn and Janette Oke's The Centurion's Wife or Anita Diamant's The Red Tent.
