josamex 's review for:
Unveiled: Tamar
by Francine Rivers
I enjoy this series because it opens our minds to the lives of the people whom the Bible doesn't "get into" but are women who are important because they are in the genealogy of Jesus.
I enjoy reading a perspective that isn't thought of much.
However... the writing itself feels like a first draft. Its quick and thus feels shallow sometimes.
I know the idea is to tell Tamar's story, yet I believe it seems to justify and spiritualize stuff she actually did wrong, instead of taking in account the cultural side and not excusing the wrong.
It's told from a very "feminist" view, though I do believe there was wrong on part of the men, it doesn't justify everything.
In short, the characters and their motives feel shallow and not well-rounded. That's disappointing because the motives and depths of characters that we don't know really well is the purpose of this book.
I feel in a few rewrites it could be better, but the concept I really enjoy.
