It''s suspenseful and it''s erotic and it''s funny, and it just charmed me to pieces.' -Liberty Hardy, Book Riot 'Glorious. Sarah Blake does something similar with the story of Noah''s Ark, reconstructing that well-known tale around the woman by Noah''s side.' - Elle 'Poetic and lush. are getting due reconsideration in pop culture. It''s extremely hard to put down I blew through it in two days, happy to be lost in this world and this woman.' - Guernica 'Historical and mythical women. Naamah is the wife of the Biblical Noah (of ark-building fame), and the book tells her story, from her perspective, in refreshingly modern prose. Such is the case with Sarah Blake''s debut novel, Naamah. With prose as luminous and heady as it is grounded in Naamah''s strong physicality, Blake creates a complex woman in a complicated yet terrifyingly simple situation.' - Electric Literature 'Retellings can be magical when deployed correctly. In the tradition of Madeline Miller''s Circe, Naamah plucks a female character from myth and imbues her with sexuality, personality and intimacy, making her an altogether more modern hero.' - Bookpage 'A powerhouse of a debut. Blake ultimately succeeds in making this woman of antiquity feel of our times, offering no easy answers to the many questions Naamah poses.' - Paste 'Revelatory, ethereal and transfixing, Naamah cracks open the ancient tale of Noah. Blasphemous, carnal and committed to exaltation, Naamah delivers its truths in a torrent of heresies dares us to center the experience and wisdom of women.' -The Washington Post 'A dreamy and transgressive feminist retelling of the Great Flood from the perspective of Noah''s wife as she wrestles with the mysterious metaphysics of womanhood at the end of the world.' -O, The Oprah Magazine ' Naamah is the feminist bible retelling we need in 2019. It also left me with an abiding admiration for the writer''s charged powers of imagination.' -Joan Silber, New York Times Book Review 'An urgent feminist response to the Old Testament.

' wild and superbly intelligent reimagining.
