Water from the Well: Women of the Bible: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah Paperback - 2007
by Anne Roiphe
A writer of women's lives for over thirty years, Roiphe turns her keen eye and graceful prose to the Bible and the stories of the Matriarchs--Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah. The author makes the biblical landscape come alive as she focuses on these remarkable role models and their experiences of love and terror, pain and pleasure, routine and uncertainty.
From the rear cover
By retelling the stories of the Matriarchs through a sympathetic eye, Anne Roiphe will create portraits of the Bible's women that will show how they played a role in Western history, how they taught us what is important and what is not, how they inspire our moral and immoral imaginations. She will also bring the reader closer to the biblical landscape by describing in detail the actual lives these woman led: the animals they cared for; the terror of illness; the sense of helplessness and fear they must have experienced; the packing up of the tent; the terrors caused by drought and rain and flood; the ache of infertility; the joy of birth; the pleasures of love.
