In this brilliant debut novel, Noe's family - his wife, sons and
daughters-in-law - tell what it's like to live with a man touched
by God, while struggling against events that cannot be controlled
or explained. For when Noe orders his sons to build an ark, he
can't tell them where the wood will come from, just that God will
provide. When he sends his daughter-in-law out to gather the
animals, he can offer no directions, money, or protection. Just
faith. But once the rain starts, they all come to realise that the
harshest test of their faith is just beginning. The novel is a
wickedly funny, wildly imaginative retelling of one of the most
dramatic stories known to mankind. At its core it's about a family
caught in the midst of an extraordinary event. David Maine infuses
this timeless tale with humanity, tension and wit.
