Esther Freud's new novel, My Sister and Other Lovers, is out now and she will be speaking at the Edinburgh International Book ...

The Book of Esther tells how she and her pious cousin, Mordecai, defeated the scheming Haman, a powerful royal adviser, thereby saving the Jewish people from annihilation.

"The Book of Esther – A Commentary and History" is a timely, interesting and well-written discussion of the holiday of Purim and its meaning through history.
