After reading several novels without finishing them, I started with the novel 'The Book of V' by Anna Solomon is a captivating novel that intertwines the lives of three women across different time periods, all connected in some way to the biblical figure of Esther. The narrative unfolds through the perspectives of these women: Esther, the queen from the Old Testament; a modern woman named Lily who is grappling with her life and role as a mother; and Vee, senator's wife who was involved in the watergate case.
At first, the story hooked me, I thought It would be a page-turner novel but some parts of the story might drag on, making it challenging to stay engaged, especially when switching between the different timelines. The connections between the characters can sometimes feel forced or not fully developed, leaving readers wanting a deeper exploration of their relationships.
One of The best aspects of the book is that it allows reader to explore themes such as power, identity, and sacrifice. The novel invites reflection on the roles of women throughout history and how their stories have been told or silenced over time.
I'm torn between to recomended it or not, as I see It, the most intresting story of The three women is Vee's. Beca use the way the book is structured makes It difficult to understand the ssories of these women.

Hi! Your review has raised my interest because I am engaged in exploring another History. I mean, the biased History related to dates, conquerors and one succesful men, well, they are not my cup of tea at all. Besides, the three woman characters would had been a great example of witnesses behind the curtain, concerning the facts that move the world so that I would read it. I absolutely agree that the last political story seems to be really interesting. Gratitude!
