By Susannah Clements-PCA. As a child, Mara is captured from her village in the north of Europe and eventually ends up as a musician in King David's palace. There, she learns to love the young prince Solomon, who is dealing with conflicting fears andambitions about his family and his role as futureking. As she gradually begins to know and trust the God of Isreal, Mara must learn to go where he leads her, even if that means leaving the palace andaccepting a home and family of her own. Uder the Sun spans five decades, exploring how God was working in the complex reign of King Soloman and was guiding the unpredictable journey of one women.

Susannah Clements Under the Sun, unfolding the life of Soloman through imagining the story of his greatest human love, is a meditation on grace and brokenness, forgiveness and love. What seems at first a painstaking recreation of the textures and smells, customs and fogs of an earlier time is in facta profound re-imagining of the tensions and betrayals and moments of insight which sacred history and poetry perhaps grew from. This is a bold, stirring book"" Thomas Gardner, Blacksburg, Virginia, Professor of English, Virginia Tech Paperback"
