Résumé
"A biblical story, that of Sarah and Abraham, told from her perspective: the woman behind the patriarch. Sara is a well-documented, credible novel, written with humor and inventiveness, presenting the human side of biblical characters. Sara is the narration of… a pilgrimage through hostile kingdoms and inhospitable lands, while complying with the arbitrary indications transmitted to Abraham by Iahweh or "the Magician," a multiform being who does not seem to like laughter. While camped in the vicinity of the Salt Lake, near Sodom and Gomorrah, three young men appear before the couple to announce that the infertile and elderly Sarah will give birth to a son who will make Abraham the offspring of countless generations. Although generation after generation believed this to be a story starring men, it is Sarah, with her irony, humor, incredulity, tenacity, and ability to question divine designs, who endows it with authenticity." -- Translation provided by NLS
