Just discovered a lovely review for my novel, Rise to Power:
"There are limits to power. When afflicted by an unexplained illness, even a king can be placed in quarantine," says David, our narrator, in the prologue to this story. Yes, THAT David, of Old Testament fame. Now he speaks to us through Uvi Poznansky's prose.
With nearly his next breath, David asks, "Why write another psalm? Who would read it? Who would take it to heart?" You'll read it; you'll take it to heart, once you start this book, a glorious but troubling journey into an ancient mind and a riven heart, impossible to put down.
In previous works, Uvi Poznansky has shown us her well-tuned ear, her lyrical bent. Now she's harnessed these to a chariot worthy of a hero. Rise to Power is a grand accomplishment, the like of which is very rare.
For a trip into a noble mind, buy this book and let it whirl you away. You'll be glad you did.
