The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks

“Brooks, a former journalist and now a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, builds the story from scriptural sources, so all the well-known high points are hit: the giant-slaying, harp-playing, kingdom building, midnight bath-watching, and so on. What’s added to blazing effect, are the other characters, who tell of their own roles… These include David’s opponents, advisors, and sons, but most crucially his mother and his wives.” – Alana Newhouse for the New York Times Book Review, Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015
