If Genesis and Exodus had been written by a woman, what would they be like? Re-imagined from a woman's perspective, these familiar events delight the imagination and stir the soul in refreshing new ways. Miriam Therese Winter retells our ancient myths of Creation, the Garden, and the Flood, and chronicles the adventures of the remarkable women of Genesis and Exodus: Sarah and Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, Rachel, Miriam, and many more. According to the author, she is presenting us with an ancient manuscript that was written long ago by one of the many wives of Solomon. This woman writer, named Noah, feared the loss of women's perspective as written records began replacing oral traditions. She wrote these Chronicles to offer another side to the story of our shared myths and memories. The Chronicles of Noah and Her Sisters is wonderful spiritual reading, and a must for all women - and men - concerned about handing on the essentials of faith to their daughters and granddaughters.
This book brought alive stories I have heard from my childhood and challenged me to read the stories for myself with new eyes. There are subtleties and undercurrents in the stories that I had not seen before. The book also reminded me that these were oral tales, told and retold with infinite variety long before they were written down.
