SUMMARY:STAFF CHOICE - Jezebel
DESCRIPTION:Jezebel. We know the word\, but not the woman who wore the name long before it was an epithet. Now\, we’ll learn her story\, told in the style of Madeline Miller’s Circe\, as a triumphant feminist warcry for a queen who deserved more than history gave her. \nAbout the Book \nWith a bold voice reminiscent of Madeline Miller’s Circe\, a stunning reimagining of the story of a fierce princess from Tyre and her infamous legacy \nJezebel was born into the world howling. She intends to leave it the same way. \nWhen Jezebel learns she can’t be a king like her father simply because she’s a girl\, she vows never to become someone’s decorative wife\, nameless and lost to history. At fifteen she’s married off\, despite her protests\, to Prince Ahab of Israel. There\, she does what she must to gain power and remake the dry and distant kingdom in the image of her beloved\, prosperous seaside homeland of Tyre\, beginning by building temples to the gods she grew up worshipping. As her initiatives usher in an era of prosperity for Israel\, her new subjects love her\, and her name rings through the land. \nThen Elijah\, the prophet of Yahweh and her former lover\, begins to speak out against her. Bitter at having been abandoned by Jezebel\, he lashes out\, calling her a slut. Harlot. Witch. And the people\, revering their prophet’s message\, turn on her. \nAs ancient powers and faiths are pitted against each other\, bloodshed descends on Israel and Jezebel faces the fall of her legacy. Determined despite the odds to make Israel a great nation\, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her family\, her throne—her name. A stunning revision of a notorious queen’s story\, Jezebel is a thrilling lyrical debut about a fierce woman who refuses to be forgotten.
