Book: In a Milk and Honeyed Land by Richard Abbott
categories: Book, Ancient Israel, Ancient Egypt, Gaza, Canaan, Poetry, Biblical Fiction, Joshua, Love, Conflict, Hill Country, Ancient History, Historical FictionRichard Abbott

What will a reader find? Glimpses of a world which would disappear before very many more years had passed. It is solidly based on academic research, but is told as a tale of life, love and conflict. Poetry written in the ancient style is woven in with the prose, and as the reviewer noticed, the story unfolds progressively and carefully. There is space and time to reflect on what was happening to these people.
The cover photograph was originally taken by an old friend of mine who is a photographer. When I saw this particular picture I knew that this was exactly right - it captured the milk and honeyed land perfectly.
