There's a problem. There's this kid, and he has to get into school. But it's 2000BC and the child belongs to some peasants. Who's ever heard of peasants sending a child to school? - 'to become a scribe, your father must be a scribe'. Gulp!
Apart from the very appealing story, this book has a premise. The premise is that if it is part of our inherited tradition; if it is literature that is thousands of years old, then it must be, it IS, intrinsically true. This may be historical literature on steroids, but we are told very little history. We read a great many texts - songs, prayers, stories ... Those texts are treated as the factual paradigm of this 'historical' novel. Is it all true?
This immaculately-structured collision with our most ancient literatures, written with warmth and humor, will appeal to any lover of books, and ancient history, our earliest literature, and the beginnings of the Old Testament.
