Review
"Funny, tender, intelligent, energetic, irreverent, and worshipful. It is an enormous juggling act of families, animals and faith, and it kept me engaged through every page" Ann Patchett, author of Orange Prize winner Bel Canto; "I loved The Flood. It's a funny, convincing amplification of the Biblical story" Tracy Chevalier; "A funny, cheeky, irreverent, wonderfully original first novel, informed both by Biblical history and Dave Maine's joyous imagination" Jim Fergus, author of One Thousand White Women"

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In The Flood, Noe's family tell what it's like to live with a man touched by the hand of God, while struggling against events they cannot control or explain. When Noe orders his sons to build an ark, he can't tell them where the wood or other materials will come from, just that God will provide. When Noe orders his daughters-in-law to gather the animals, they set off on their difficult journeys with no specifics, no money, and no protection, just Noe's faith that God will make it work. And once the rain starts, the family is trapped on the ark with no experience in feeding or caring for the animals, and no idea when the endless waters will recede. What emerges is a picture of a real family caught in the midst of an extraordinary Biblical event - and all the tension, humanity, and even humour that that implies. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003154358
