Sakes alive this was another rough one. I have to admit I wasn't super fond of the idea of Bathsheba being rather obsessed with David from the time of being a little girl. It really painted Bathsheba out to be a not so great character almost from the start. Since we don't know her past before her marriage to Uriah, the author was able to create any past she wanted. Not sure that I liked this one.

Once again, her family, mostly her mother isn't very kind to her. I liked the relationship she had with her grandfather from the time she was young.

It was interesting to see David's struggles through the author's eyes as well. He was rather as I expected him and this period of his life played out how I imagined.

Reading as an author brings to life Biblical people is quite an experience. When it's infused with Scripture I love it even more! I appreciated that while much of the beginning of the story was left to the author's imagination, Bathsheba's time with David after she moves to the palace and beyond was really powerful.

I wasn't a super huge fan of the narrator, especially when it was the emotional parts of the story. It was a little much for me.
