2000 years ago, while a young Jewish preacher from Nazareth was gathering followers among the people of Galilee, his sister swept floors and dreamed of learning to read. Jesus of Nazareth's story is one of a prophet turned martyr - but we know nothing of his sister. In this story, the women of Nazareth take centre stage. There is the rebellious Rachael, consigned by her sex to a life of drudgery; Bindy, the crone who teaches her the skills of the healer; there is Shona, her sister, victim of a harsh social code, and their mother Miriame, a woman seemingly unable to love.

Author: Leslie Cannold Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 328 The year is 3790 in the Hebrew calendar: 30 AD. A young man is travelling the countryside around the Sea of Galilee preaching a message of love and justice; a prophet is being made, and a martyr. But that story is well known. The young preacher, then known as Joshua of Nazareth, had a sister at home. Of her, we know nothing at all. The Book of Rachael is the story of a fiercely intelligent child consigned by her sex to a life of ignorance and drudgery. But Rachael fights her destiny, secretly learning the forbidden skills of literacy from her father, Yosef, and her brother. And when she falls in love with Joshua's closest friend, Judah of Iscariot, it even seems that Rachael will find happiness in her constrained world. Then a message comes from Joshua. He is on his way to Jerusalem for Passover. He plans to speak out in the Temple against the corrupt establishment, and he asks for Judah's help. And so begins the chain of tragic events that will change not just Rachael's life, but the world forever. Secondhand, Paperback. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781921758089-SECONDHAND
