Judah's Wife: A Novel of the Maccabees by Angela Elwell HuntMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another great historical novel from Angela Hunt.
This novel is a great stand alone (I never knew there was a 1st book until I started writing this review!) Angela weaves this story with history, romance, family and Jewish traditions with tremendous skill. There is intrigue, humor, 2nd-century BC daily living as well as war tactics. She also gives great insight into how Antiochus Epiphenes terrorized the people of Judah.
Just plain great writing. If you like historical accuracy blended into family saga well, then this series is for you.
