Many people know the story of Sarah and Abraham from Genesis, which covers their journeys, beliefs, and faith. Card takes the biblical narrative and makes it a historical novel, using details from oral tradition and apocryphal literature, ancient history, and archaeological finds. Gabrielle de Cuir weaves beauty into the story, giving Sarah a strong personality and voicing her personal doubts. Abraham and Hagar, Lot and Eleazar are also concretely rendered. There is a short epilogue presented by Card, describing the sources for his work.
