Sarah

Women of Genesis (A Novel)

De: Orson Scott Card

Narrado por: Gabrielle de Cuir

The first audiobook in bestselling author Orson Scott Card's Women of Genesis series—a unique re-imagining of the biblical tale

Sarai was a child of ten years, wise for her age but not yet a woman, when she first met Abram. He appeared before her in her father's house, filthy from the desert, tired and thirsty. But as the dirt of travel was washed from his body, the sight of him filled her heart. And when Abram promises Sarai to return in ten years to take her for his wife, her fate was sealed.

Abram kept his promise, and Sarai kept hers. They were wed, and so joined the royal house of Ur with the high priesthood of the Hebrews. So began a lifetime of great joy together, and greater peril: and with the blessing of their God, a great nation would be built around the core of their love.

Bestselling author Orson Scott Card uses his fertile imagination, and uncanny insight into human nature, to tell the story of a unique woman—one who is beautiful, tough, smart, and resourceful in an era when women had little power, and are scarce in the historical record. Sarah, child of the desert, wife of Abraham, takes on vivid reality as a woman desirable to kings, a devoted wife, and a faithful follower of the God of Abraham, chosen to experience an incomparable miracle.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This series is definitely for those interested in women in the Bible, and in such novels as The Red Tent (by New York Times bestseller Anita Diamant)." —Kliatt

“The story moves swiftly, climaxing at several points, such as Abram and Sarai’s stay in Egypt when the pharaoh wants to take Sarai as his wife. It is a quick and interesting read….This is an intriguing story .”—Pittsburg Post-Gazette

“This playfully speculative novel succeeds in bringing Sarah's soft-overlooked character into vivid relief.”—Publishers Weekly

loved it

I really wish the second book in the series were available as an audio book. I have 1 and 3, and would love the set.

New fan

It took me a couple chapters to get into the story. Some things in the story were different than how I have read or perceived from the Bible account. I very much liked the authors story and appreciated the whole book overall even more after listening to his afterward in the last chapter. I wish Audible had his 2nd book available.

Not sci-fi... but still Card.

Amazing story that brings to life the character's we thought we knew, but now know them better.

I love this book

That’s biblical fiction goes, Orson Scott card is just the best there is. I love all of his writing, as he is an extremely accomplished writer, but his women of Genesis series have truly touched me.

They were humans

I like that I can relate seeing a story more than than just a story. They had emotions just like me.

this is my required optional heading

The reader does a very good job. Easy to listen to. Enjoyed listening to author's version of the story of Sarah and Abraham.

Excellent, excellent!

I think this is the third time I've listened to this book and I absolutely love it. I learned more about women of the Bible and realize where I can increase my faith and strength.

Excellent Book by Sci-fi Author Orson Scott Card!

Excellent Book by Sci-fi Author Orson Scott Card! Well written and performed! This is the first Orson Scott Card novel I’ve read even though I love Sci-Fi/Fantasy! He is an excellent author! Sarah is a Biblical fiction novel chronicling a fictionalized according of Sarai’s life, the wife of Abram. It is well written and excellently narrated and performed.

Incredibly enjoyable.

OSC brings these characters and their stories to life. Abraham and Sarah are now my friends. I highly recommend listening to the afterward as it addresses specifically what others on here have criticized in the telling of this story.

Great story

A Great story of a well known Biblical story that we don’t know much about.
