Bestselling author Tommy Tenney expands the extraordinary story of Esther like no novelist has done before. Both a thriller and a Jewish woman's memoir, Hadassah takes readers to ancient Persia (now known as Iran), into the inner sanctum of the palace and back out into the war zones of battle and political intrigue. This gripping drama of a simple peasant girl chosen over many more qualified candidates to become Esther, Queen of Persia, captures the imagination and fires the emotions of men and women alike.

So, I don't often read Biblical fiction but I tried this one. It was okay but I'm not likely to reread it. There were some things that I felt wouldn't be like they were in Biblical times.Review on Hadassah"Death or Cooperation, there was nothing else"Star of Susa* "God's Plan" One of the most annoying things while reading this book is that the word God is shown as G-d in the book. This maybe for religious reasons of the author which is why it did not bother me as much as it could have. The first chapter opens a bit slow but by chapter 4 I was completely hooked. I loved how it jumped from her present day to the past to let the reader understand what happened in the early
WONDERFUL!!!
This book was an okay read for me. Here's the scoop. If it were strictly a fictitious novel and not "historical fiction" I would have done better.

I'm not sure I've read anything quite like this before. Knowing the story of Esther, in the Bible, it was predictable especially towards the end. It reads like a romantic novel with the Biblical story in the background. Whilst avoiding graphic detail, the author describes bedroom scenes that will make some readers uncomfortable. I'm just not sure what purpose the book serves. Christian Biblical fiction is only worth reading if it helps the reader understand the culture/history and brings things
Hmmm... what I will point out here, is that Hadassah: One Night with the King was well-written and very interesting. Very stunning novel based on the book of Esther from the Bible. However, I say BASED, because there were a few things that didn't seem quite historically acurate concerning Hadassah and her story. And, her search for revenge at the end of the book didn't leave me with a nice feeling.I don't want to completely write it off though. A lot of people would enjoy it, I'm sure. But as
