Re: [ha-Safran] Request for book recommendation

Rebecca,
I attach a list of Biblical fiction which I compiled from replies to 
Hasafran a few years ago.

It is not in any particular order,
Thank you to: Suzi Dubin,  Chaya Wiesman, Lee Jaffe  and others,
Very few can compare to Milton Steinberg.
Best wishes for a Happy Pesach

Subject: [ha-Safran] Request for book recommendation

To all,

Someone asked me if I could recommend for them any good novels (adult)
on Jewish or Biblical themes. The person has read books by Milton
Steinberg and Anita Diamond.

Any recommendations would be welcome! Thanks.

Best wishes for a Happy Pesach

Rebecca
