The inspiration
The book of Esther is a page turning thriller filled with spies, intrigue, sex, murder, beautiful woman, evil opponents, and crafty characters. Mordecai: a mischievous maverick manipulator who gave wisdom to the inexperienced instincts of his adopted orphan niece. Hadassah: national beauty contest queen, mistress of the king, the eponymous heroine. Instinctive and ingenious she turned a government upside down, broke the barriers of convention, and changed the course of history. Together they fractured the walls of societies asylum, caused mayhem among the aristocracy, and brought an end to the evil schemers of the day. Maybe we need them again? |
