-- Praise for "J" --
“In her captivating debut novel, Burns has crafted a lush and poetical story of how the Hebrew Bible came to be. Harold Bloom may have introduced us to J (the woman scribe who lived during the Solomonic courts of 960-922 B.C.), but Burns has put flesh and bones on her, clothed her in emotional finery, and imagined her as King David’s daughter—royalty we can relate to. Quick-paced and full of intrigue, rife with unexpected twists and turns, J—The Woman Who Wrote the Bible will keep you turning the pages, whether or not you’re familiar with the age-old tales.”
