A fascinating portrait and recreation of King David, packed with vivid incident and rich in humanity.
David comes alive in this novel as a fascinating, divided self, and on finishing it you feel you understand a little more about the extraordinary world of the Middle East from which so much of our own Judaeo-Christian religion and civilisation sprang. Modern parallels are never forced - but this world of sex, intrigue, war and religious mania suggests constantly to the reader not memories of the Bible, but events in the newspapers in that very Hebron where David ruled as king.
