I really enjoyed the way Ms. Havel and Ms. Faucheux have brought to life the characters and the era. ”
“I found myself almost immediately caught up in the story of Michal, the daughter of Saul and the senior wife of David. ”
“Anyone who loves historical fiction would love this book. ”

*****
The novel "The Daughter of the King" is capable of transporting the reader to the far away social context of a bygone era. The characters, geographical locations and the lifestyle presented through the chapters provide the reader with a novel experience and that itself contributes considerably to augmenting the artistic unity and readability of the novel. Yet the development of the character of the protagonist, Princess Michal, implies that human emotions and relationships remain the same, irrespective of time or context. The writers provide elaborate details of the unfamiliar landscape and the lifestyle unfolded through the events of the plot. Ultimately, the novel interlaces romance, adventure and actual religious history, making the reading of the book a pleasurable experience. Moreover, the writers have successfully addressed the challenge of preserving the verisimilitude of the plot, and the originality of scripture, displaying their ability to spin fiction out of stark facts.

From the Author
This book started with a wish to write about a woman from the Bible. After reading of a spat between King David and Princess Michal, the co-authors thought she might be our next heroine. The Biblical account of her helping David escape from mad King Saul convinced us Michal was the one. Not only did the princess love and marry one of the most famous kings of antiquity, she had some hair-raising adventures along the way. How could we resist writing her story?
