Ancient Historical Fiction full of friendship, family, and fearlessness
Join us on the second Thursday of each month at 5:30pm as we discuss positive reads that will leave you connected, encouraged, inspired, and entertained.
This December we’re reading book 1 in Tessa Afshar’s Queen Esther’s Court series, The Queen’s Cook.
"In the heart of ancient Persia, the empire's Jewish citizens face an ominous edict that threatens their very existence. Roxannah, the daughter of an impoverished Persian lord, is devastated by the news but feels helpless to come to the aid of her Jewish friends. Desperate to support her family, Roxannah approaches the royal physician, Adin--the man whose kind eyes haunt her--and seeks his help to find employment in Queen Esther's kitchens."
"In the opulent palace of Susa, Roxannah tries to survive the spiteful ploys of the other cooks as she ascends through the ranks. Her loyalty earns her the trust and friendship of Queen Esther, who is navigating dangerous politics with wisdom and grace..."
