(The Loves of King Solomon, #4)
Thought provoking
It's hard for me to read of kings who fall in love with multiple wives, as growing up we're taught, one man, one woman. JES wrote her Loves of Solomon series in such a way that while I struggled with it, I also saw the possibility and beauty behind it.
This story was different as Nicuala, the queen, was woo'd by Solomon, and had a totally different role to play in life, rather than a princess used for political alliances. This gave her a whole unique approach to Solomon and their relationship.
