Hi all — I'm looking for a few beta readers for a finished literary novel.
THE WHOLE MEGILLAH retells the biblical Book of Esther — the Purim story — through four unreliable narrators: Haman, Mordecai, Esther, and Xerxes, each convinced they're the hero, each lying about everything except the ending. Four voices, one empire, zero reliable witnesses. It's dark, comic, and satirical — the version of the story your funniest, least trustworthy relative would tell. It's set in ancient Persia but wears its history lightly, and you do NOT need to know the source story to read it (though if you do, you'll catch things others won't). Written for adult readers; irreverent rather than reverent — not a religious or devotional book.
