Salomé: a Novel Patti Rutka 第1 版

What if reality TV met one of our oldest stories of blood revenge, lust, envy, and coming-of-age? Though the story of Salomé has been told down through the ages, this new rendition from a woman's perspective portrays mother-daughter forgiveness based on the story of the sensuous young woman who danced for Herod then demanded John the Baptist's head on a platter at her mother's instigation. Lush language and a riveting storyline combine to create this small jewel from debut novelist Patti Rutka.
