Hadassah, Queen Esther of Persia

Book Format

Publication Date

Number of Pages

Publisher

<p>One of the great heroines of the Old Testament, Hadassah was a beautiful, graceful young woman who put her faith in God and her guardian, her cousin Mordecai. <br /> She dreams of marrying Shamir, a tall, handsome, studious young man who is the rabbi's son. Her heart beats faster when she hears the sound of his deep voice as he reads the Torah. And she hopes that he will visit Mordecai soon to present a betrothal request. <br /> Then, an upheaval in King Xerxes's palace changes everything. Queen Vashti has been banished and an edict goes out for all qualified young virgins throughout the empire to be taken to the palace as he searches for a new queen. <br /> Fear strikes in the hearts of many, including Mordecai, as he realizes Hadassah will be taken. To hide her identity as a Jew, he tells her to go by the name of Esther. Since he works as a record-keeper at the king's gates, he can keep tabs on how she is doing. <br /><i>Hadassah: Queen Esther of Persia</i> imagines what life was like for the woman who saved her people--and perhaps found love in the process.</p>

Another book about Queen Esther?  Yes!

Author Diana Wallis Taylor did a wonderful job of conveying the spirit of the times in ancient Persia.  I felt the unrest and uneasiness in Susa, the joy of childhood, and the chill of distrust in the palace.

What I loved about Taylor's portrayal of Esther was that her trust in Adonai did not wane, which translated into kindness toward those around her.  That kindness led to a lifetime of loyalty from Esther's servants.  Esther dealt with heartbreak, as well, but again, her unwavering faith brought her through it.  I also loved the wisdom of Mordecai, a constant throughout the book.  

It was hard to read about the harsh realities of palace life.  Yes, opulence.  But not knowing whom to trust, and being fearful for the lives of your loved ones during political unrest, among other things, was difficult.  Again, Taylor conveyed it well.

Fans of biblical fiction and of Esther will want to read this book.

I received an e-ARC of this book from the publisher, Whitaker House, through Celebrate Lit, for review purposes.  The thoughts expressed here are my own.

Queen Esther

walmart.com

This is the first book by Diana Wallis Taylor I have read and I was quite excited to read about Hadassah since the book of Esther is near and dear to my heart. This story of Hadassah incorporates many intricate details of Susa's city life. The author also includes interesting tidbits about Hadassah, Mordecai, Xerxes, and his queen mother that make these main characters unique fictionally from the characterizations I've read in other Biblical fiction books based on Esther. Good research into the history, culture, and customs of the Persians help to paint the background well. 

The pacing of the plot, however, felt a bit off and the story dragged somewhat until Haman came into play. I was a bit surprised that Haman had such little role in this story and most of the plot was about Esther and Xerxes' relationship and Esther's friendship with her eunuch guard and her mother-in-law. It was interesting to learn about Esther and Mordecai's presumed final resting place which I wasn't aware of. 

I received a copy of the book via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

Interesting rendition of Hadassah's story

Hadassah Queen Esther of Persia by Diana Wallis Taylor is the retelling of the Biblical story of Esther. Everyone knows the story of how the young Jewish girl became queen of Persia. I've loved this Bible story ever since I was a kid. Who wouldn't love to be a queen? I never really thought about how Hadassah must have felt about leaving her family, her people, even maybe a boyfriend. Ms. Taylor told the story with a more personal look at Hadassah's life. To go from a strict religious household to living in a pagan king's palace must have been a very traumatic time for her. Yet she never lost her faith in the One true God; and He was faithful to her. This was a lovely read. I would highly recommend it if you like Biblical stories. 



I received this book from Celebrate-Lit in exchange for my honest review.

Great Biblical Fiction

People who are familiar with the Bible know that many of the stories are so amazing that they seem like fiction but they are, of course, indeed true. Hadassah's bravery; Mordecai's important job in the King's treasury and his intelligence and wisdom; and the very evil Haman are all important details in this book and they are all a part of the remarkable story that was recorded in the Book of Esther. It is a fact that God chose a young Jewish girl to complete His plan for his chosen people and that she was obedient to God's will but this biblical fiction book allows us to understand her uncertainty and to feel her fear as she readied herself to approach the king. 

I appreciated the notes that the author shared in the back of her book. Taylor admits that she doesn't know if Esther and Xerses had a loving marriage but she chose to write it as such because of the Scriptures that state that the king 'loved her above all the other women'. She also shares that there is a tomb in present-day Iran that carries the names of Esther and Mordecai and it is believed that they were buried there. 

I enjoyed Hadassah: Queen Esther of Persia and I recommend it to all who enjoy Christian romance and historical or biblical fiction.

I received a complimentary copy through Celebrate Lit. I have voluntarily chosen to share my honest thoughts.

Intriguing Biblical Fiction

One of the best things about this book is how the author takes a story from the bible and brings it to life. I could picture Hadassah as a young girl. She was in awe of her new home after losing her family. She is taken to a place by relatives that bring her a better life. I loved reading how she honored her new life and respected those who were her new parents. 

The beauty of the land, the people at the market place and the grand banquet all make the story so realistic. I can't imagine what it would be like to line the streets waiting for a glimpse of the King. His power was felt throughout the land and some feared that a war was soon to break out. I loved reading how Hadassah became Queen Esther.

I appreciate the authors research done for this book and added a depth of biblical truth to the story. Some parts of the story did bring up how Jews were treated and had to be careful around certain people while in the marketplace. I enjoyed getting to know how it might have been for Esther as she became Queen and the decisions she had to make. I always enjoy retelling of bible stories when the author can capture the heart of the characters and make us think about what it must have been like living during times of danger and uncertainty. Overall the story was good and makes for a great book to see what life may have been like for Esther who became Queen.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

I've always been intrigued by the Biblical account of Esther and was anxious to read this novel. I was swept away into a Historical account of the story and immersed into the culture of foods, dress, maids, etc. I felt the research was impeccable, but I experienced a disconnect from the characters and that's why I didn't give it five stars. I learned a lot from the book, including where Esther and Mordecai are supposedly buried. I was able to picture the palace and how things looked and smelled as the words were descriptive and were like looking at a snapshot of the past. The culture and time was brought to life. I recommend to my Historical fans.
