Radiant

Abigail and David’s story as told by her handmaidens

by Kirsty A. Wilmott

In this compelling account of Abigail and David’s romance, author Kirsty A. Wilmott provides an in-depth look at the life and struggles of her characters. Surrounded by handmaidens, Abigail is both instigator of her destiny as well as victim of her circumstances – a woman who understands what is needed for her family to survive – and who fearlessly acts to protect them.

Those closest to Abigail tell the heartachingly beautiful story of two lovers struggling under the pressures of a kingdom not yet established and the ensuing political pragmatism that ultimately tears them apart.

Review

An exquisitely crafted tale that gently paints a complex and beautiful picture of the nature of love.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of ancient Judaean history, Radiant weaves together the stories of six women whose lives are not their own, yet discover that in each other they find enough.

A book that taught me more about myself which I will treasure.
