Unspoken; Bathsheba





5/5
I liked this one very much. Probably my favorite out of all of them.
This one I could I liked her point of view. When the affair happened women get the blame and is the one stoned while the man has not consequences. It was eye opening and identifiable. She was pretty brave and even though she is not the only one to blame. We did learn David was not the perfect king, and lost his way, even just for a little while.

I felt I learned a lot more from this book, I knew the story for the most part but there was a thing or two I didn't remember or was not taught. I was able to see things through her eyes. Her pain and her forgiveness. King Solomon was known as one of the wisest kings, how amazing, with David and Bathsheba as parents.

I will admit as well, the Leonard Cohan song "Hallelujah" came to mind several times and makes sense as well. I knew the song was based off of the David and Bathsheba, or at least the first few stanzas and some of the last.

I like this one to say the least. She wasn't perfect, she had a night of weakness. She was human but she was forgiven.
