From the Back Cover:
Praise for Queenmaker: A Novel of King David's Queen by India Edghill
"With her vivid attention to historical detail, Edghill keeps readers captivated.... A majestic debut."
- People magazine
"Think The Red Tent, only much better."
- Rocky Mountain News (Denver)
"A riveting debut tale...In the tradition of Anita Diamant's The Red Tent---and as good."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Excellent writing, dynamic character, and galloping pace...highly recommended."
- Library Journal
"A tantalizing glimpse into the past."
- Publishers Weekly
"Splendid."
- Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of The Mists of Avalon
"Queenmaker beguiles not only because it opens our eyes to the pure ordinariness of mythical figures, but it also exposes the foolishness and shortsighted passion that can make fools of the most exalted heroes. Its greatest richness is in creating the courage, compassion, and sheer canniness of the shadow queen, Michal, the betrothed bride of King David, the Eleanor of Aquitaine of the Bible, a monarch in full."
- Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean
