In Feast or Famine

A Novel

By: Mesu Andrews

Narrated by: Vaneh Assadourian, Mark Deakins, Philip Hernandez, Jade Wheeler

Thrust into an arranged marriage, the daughter of ancient Egypt’s high priest plays a pivotal role in Joseph’s biblical narrative in this powerful novel from the award-winning author of Potiphar’s Wife.

After four-year-old Asenath’s mother is murdered by Egypt’s foreign rulers, the child is raised to be a priestess by her overprotective father—high priest of Egypt’s sun god. For fifteen years, Asenath is sequestered in the upper levels of Ra’s temple, convinced it is her destiny to heal the land by becoming queen to the next Egyptian pharaoh. But when Egypt’s foreign king instead gives her as a bride to the newly appointed vizier—a Hebrew named Joseph—her entire world is shaken.

Beyond the walls of her tower, Asenath discovers treachery, deceit, and conspiracy that force her to redefine her destiny and weigh where her true loyalties lie. Can she still trust the gods of Egypt? Or is Elohim, the foreign God of her husband, the one who will heal her nation during the feast and famine to come?

Feast or famine

I enjoyed this book very much and enjoyed the way the book was presented to me

A captivating biblical story with twists and turns!

Although this is fictional the research that went to keeping this biblical story as accurate and intriguing was truly amazing! I loved listening to the struggles of faith and loyalty! So well performed and written! Mesu Andrews does it again!

Kings, pharaohs, and Hebrews

Fascinating history of Egypt’s Pharaohs, Kings, and the Hebrew journeys. And how the King of King’s faithfulness, and steadfast love provides, cares and protects.

Does not disappoint

I love fiction, and I love Mesu Andrew’s’ biblical fiction most of all. Not only does it draw me in as the author creates a fascinating and intricate story, but I find myself giving thanks for God’s love and promises for his people. Her books also draw me to God’s word with a renewed hunger and a deeper reverence for our Most High God. Definitely recommend!
