The Gardener of Sarah's Vineyard prunes and waits
for her till she yields the
Red Rubies of her life.
The generosity, intelligence, self-respect, courage,
and fears of a woman whether she is a Queen or Scribe, reflects into the
dignified self of any woman,
irrespective of the time and place.
The author
Tessa Afsha portrayed these aspects of femininity in Sarah,
Nehemiah’s cousin.
The benevolent treatment of the courtiers by the Persian
Kings emerges through the concave lenses to make us sit at the edge of our
chair, flipping over the pages
till the end of this fiction.
