it was amazing

This is a fantastic read, especially for those who are curious about events from the Bible and how they could have related to other stories and timelines. The story of Sarah, though some things might be stretched for fiction, is wildly interesting and spans over many decades, finally ending in her greatest triumph and wish, which was for a son, even if he came to her in old age. I grew up religious and always enjoyed the stories of the Bible because they seemed too incredible to believe and now as a non-religious adult, I enjoy the affordances that these stories allow for authors. Halter’s version of Sarah and Abraham are not only likeable but human and offer a glimpse of what the real story could have been. Halter is a great writer, did these events of the Bible happen? Maybe, maybe not, but I had a great time reading his work.

Wolana So I just got this ridiculous book of Genesis where this redditor rewrote the stories to be quirky and it's pretty entertaining so far. I will have to show it to you at the next meeting I see you.
