Twist on story of Ruth and Naomi

Shadow among Sheaves by Naomi Stephens
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Shadow Among Sheaves is yet another book based upon the story of Ruth and Naomi from the Bible. This particular version has a few interesting twists. To begin with the main character is from India. This particular plot twist really heightens the fact that she has left everything behind with no possible way of going back and that she is facing a completely different culture. Given the cultural differences, she faces intense backlash which is only heightened by the kindness of Lord Barrick and how people interpret his actions. Because it is the story of Ruth and Naomi, most readers are going to be completely familiar with how the story ends but will enjoy the path which author Naomi Stephens takes to get there. All in all, this book was a quick and enjoyable read.
