Sarah A Novel

When the teenaged Sarai, born into privilege, flees an arranged marriage to a man she does not love, she meets and spends the night with a nomad boy named Abram. Sarai realizes that she cannot remain with someone whose way of life is so different from her own, yet neither can she return to her old life. To escape her fate, the desperate Sarai downs an herbal concoction that leaves her infertile and is dedicated as a priestess of Ishtar. Years later, Sarai is reunited with Abram and together they begin a journey of faith and love that will change history. Marek Halter's (The Canaan Trilogy) retelling of the Old Testament story of Abraham and Sarah was first published in France to international acclaim.
