The story from Sheba's point of view

I picked this book up by (lucky)chance. It's a beautiful, clear retelling of the bible story focusing on Sheba's point of view. It sent me back to reread the story in the bible and is none the worse for the comparison (I am reminded of my reaction to Joseph Heller's book God Knows. This book is more poetic.

An Insired Work of Genius

Solomon and Sheba by Faye Levine is a neglected masterpiece that deserves to be resurrected. A fictional account of the Queen of Sheba's fabled encounter with Solomon, this is a tour de force not to be missed. One wonders why this book has been so neglected. I would put it up against most of the so-called outstanding works of fiction being produced today. To call it inspired is an understatement. To read it is to be there, with the protagonists, as Solomon builds his temple. Erotic and endlessly fascinating, it is a gem.
