Description
Ataxerxes, King of Persia, sought a wife from his vast empire. He chose Esther, a Jewish scholar from the back streets of Shushan, who would have given anything to be overlooked. To the King's bored ears, this young woman was a refreshing change. As Queen, Esther struggled to navigate protocol and soon lost her husband's favour. Her faith and origins became a secret, as Haman, the King's favourite, harboured a deep-seated hatred for the Jews. With her own life at risk, Esther mustered courage to approach the King once more, this time uninvited. This is Norah Lofts' retelling of the Old Testament story behind the Jewish festival of Purim, first published in 1951.
