Book Reviews of Zipporah, Wife of Moses: A Novel (Canaan Trilogy)
Book Review: Ancient reading
Summary: 4 Stars
This book opened my eyes to the possibility of Moses' wife being a strong woman, who faced much adversity in a time where women were treated as submissive and not as leaders. They had extremely important roles within the family they belonged, but were not looked upon as decision makers. Zipporah defied the more common female characteristics as a willful, intelligent and vocal partner to Moses. What an eye opener!

Summary of Zipporah, Wife of Moses: A Novel (Canaan Trilogy)
From the internationally bestselling author of Sarah comes the riveting story of the remarkable woman who walked beside Moses.Although she is a Cushite by birth-one of the people of the lands to the south-Zipporah grew up as the beloved daughter of Jethro, high priest and sage of the Midianites. But the color of Zipporah's skin sets her apart, making her an outsider to the men of her adopted tribe, who do not want her as a wife. Then one day while drawing water from a well, she meets a handsome young stranger. Like her, he is an outsider. A Hebrew raised in the house of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Moses is a fugitive, forced to flee his homeland. Zipporah realizes that this man will be the husband and partner she never thought she would have.
Moses wants nothing more than a peaceful life with the Midianites, but Zipporah won't let Moses forget his past-or turn away from his true destiny.
She refuses to marry him until he returns to Egypt to free his people. When God reveals himself to Moses in a burning bush, his words echo Zipporah's, and Moses returns to Egypt with his passionate and generous wife by his side.
A woman ahead of her time, Zipporah leaps from the pages of this remarkable novel. Bold, independent, and a true survivor, she is a captivating heroine, and her world of deserts, temples, and ancient wonders is a fitting backdrop to an epic tale.
