About the book: 2005 / Starting with the books "The Memory of Abraham" (1983, Livre Inter Prize) and "The Khazar Wind" (2001), Marek Alter continues his work as a conductor of memory. With his trilogy “Biblical Heroines,” the first volume of which is “The Story of Sarah, the Wife of Abraham,” he rethinks biblical events, giving women their rightful place in them. “One day I thought that the lack of a woman’s perspective on the Bible was the source of all the omissions that cause so many questions and disputes. Then I decided to read the Bible through the figures of its female heroines, and everything immediately changed. Historical events fell into place, improbabilities disappeared" (M. A.).
