Summary
David, King of Israel now in old age, looks back to his charmed youth and his attempt to build a national monarchy under the favour of God. But as he accumulates power, he is killing his ability to inspire love.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: 'David comes alive in this novel as a fascinating, divided self, but you also feel on finishing it that you have understood a little more about the extraordinary world of the Middle East from which so much of our own Judaeo-Christian religion and civilisation spring. Modern parallels are never forced - Massie to too subtle a writer for that - but this world of sex, intrigue, war and religious mania suggests constantly to the reader not memories of the Bible but events in the newspapers in that very Hebron where David ruled as king' AN Wilson, Evening Standard
