Bitter for Sweet

audioboek


This is the story of Herod the Greatā€™s mother and how she brought the Arabic world of Nabataea and the western world of Rome to the Land of Israel.

The Middle East, 76 BCE.

Internal power struggles consume Jerusalemā€™s attention while surrounding nations manipulate events for their own purposes. Two young women from opposite worldsā€”Pninah, a poor Jewish girl subject to seizures and Cypros, a Nabataean princessā€”are thrust by violent events into a collision course with each other and history.

Bitter for Sweet carries on the tradition of intense, lyrical, and deeply moving historical fiction started in the award-winning Keziahā€™s Song and Blind Manā€™s Labyrinth. By capturing the era and its people with his characteristic raw intimacy and plain-song prose style, Daryl Potter brings the story of Herod the Greatā€™s mother and a fateful Roman invitation vividly to life.

Bitter for Sweet is a tale about hopeā€™s consequences that you will remember for the rest of your life.
