Overview

In SARAH, Orson Scott Card uses his fertile imagination and uncanny insight into human nature to flesh out a unique woman-one who is beautiful, tough, smart and resourceful in an era when women get short shrift in life as well as in the historical record. Sarah takes on a vivid reality as a woman desirable to kings, a devoted wife and a faithful follower of the God of Abraham, chosen to experience an incomparable miracle. Set in the splendour and excess of Egypt and the starkly beautiful desert landscapes of the Sinai Peninsular, SARAH is an altogether believable and provocatve drama.
