T.K. Thorne's ability to transport the reader to another time and place is amazing. The bible story of Lot's nameless wife starts out with a desert trading caravan where Adira, disguised as a boy for safety, travels with her father. The appearance of a couple of mysterious strangers begins an incredible journey ending at, of course, Sodom, but not the way you've learned in Sunday school. The smells of the desert, it's creatures and inhabitants; the cooking fires, rugs, the grit of windswept sand everywhere- Thorne's expert imagery combine to add another dimension to this story. Loved every bit of it. Anxious to get a copy of Thorne's first book about another woman of the bible, Noah's Wife- I'm sorry I've left reading it this long!
