About this listen
Best-selling author Angela Hunt Returns to Biblical Fiction.
An ambitious tyrant threatens genocide against the Jews in ancient Persia, so an inexperienced young queen must take a stand for her people.
When Xerxes, king of Persia, issues a call for beautiful young women, Hadassah, a Jewish orphan living in Susa, is forcibly taken to the palace of the pagan ruler. After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as Esther wins the king's heart and a queen's crown. But because her situation is uncertain, she keeps her ethnic identity a secret until she learns that an evil and ambitious man has won the king's permission to exterminate all Jews - young and old, powerful, and helpless. Purposely violating an ancient Persian law, she risks her life in order to save her people... and bind her husband's heart.
Esther marks best-selling author Angela Hunt's return to biblical fiction. In each novel she explores an example of a Hebrew Old Testament woman - a woman whose physical beauty influences those around her and can change the course of history.

Beautiful adaptation
Nothing beats the account in the bible but this was an interesting take on the famous story and provided a different perspective and context to some of the events which was great story telling. Looking forward to the other books on the series.

Absolutely loved it!
Having read the biblical account of Esther it has helped me to enjoy it and understand providence and enhanced my love and appreciation of the God she served. It teaches patience and remaining faithful to the teachings of your tutor/ mentor. Beautiful story well narrated too.
