I am am reviewing a copy of Jerusalem’s Queen through Bethany House Publishers and
Netgalley:
Salome Alexandra was born in the small village of Modein a town made famous by the warrior Maccabees. Salome Alexandra knows better than to have great dreams for her future. Her beauty pales in comparison to her beautiful older sister. She learns to read at an early age but intellectual ability in women holds little or no value. After her Father and sister are killed she and her Mother are invited to Jerusalem by their distant relative John Hyrancus. In Jerusalem her intell pursuits are both noticed and indulged.
After she is bethroved to a pagan prince by her guardian Salome Alexandra finds herself questioning HaShem’s plan. And when Hyranus marries her to a boy half her age she can’t help but question her guardian’s Sanity. Although Salome spends most of her life as a pawn ordered by powerful men, but she learns that women committed to Hashem can change the world.
