by Grace Bauer (Author)

"In The Women at the Well, Bauer sings out of silent alternative stories of the Biblical women she first encountered as a schoolgirl listening to the nuns. Wry humor is only one element of Bauer's illuminating re-vision as she inhabits her women in the longing, sassiness, rebellion, compassion, wavering, and triumph. She lets them like each other--Rachel and Leah reconcile--and lets them relish their bodies. Mary complains about never 'knowing pleasure.' She creates The Prodigal Daughter who, like Woolf's Judith Shakespeare, experiences a vastly different fate from her male counterpart's. But unlike poor Judith, this daughter survives and bears her own girl child . . . I had my favorites among Bauer's women, and you will, too. Whoever they are, the Bible will never be the same."--Carole Simmons Oles
