Critics Review
“In Megan Barnard’s debut novel, “Jezebel,” the titular wicked queen of biblical lore gets a spirited makeover… Redeeming the novel from well-worn tropes of female disempowerment is Barnard’s subversive counternarrative… This audiobook is a homage to the innate right to be heard.” – New York Times Book Review”[A] stunning first novel…A riveting story reinforcing the notion that there are two sides to every story. Barnard’s eloquently written debut is perfect for fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe or The Song of Achilles.” – Library Journal, starred review“Rich with historical detail and a fresh and convincing perspective…Like so many strong women, Jezebel is loved, feared, and hated, especially by the men she rules. Megan Barnard’s Jezebel is also strong, determined, and resourceful…historical fiction at its finest.” – Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches“Ambitious…a provocative concept.” – Publisher’s Weekly
