50 reviewsA rich and utterly absorbing novel about the life of King David, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of People Of The Book and March. “A compelling read, contemporary in its relevance... The Secret Chord is powerful storytelling, its landscape and time evoked in lyrical prose" (The Guardian).
“A page-turner... Brooks is a master at bringing the past alive... in [her] skilful hands the issues of the past echo our own deepest concerns: love and loss, drama and tragedy, chaos and brutality.” - Alice Hoffman, The Washington Post
Geraldine Brooks now takes on one of literature’s richest and most enigmatic figures: a man who shimmers between history and legend. Peeling away the myth to bring David to life in Second Iron Age Israel, Brooks traces the arc of his journey from obscurity to fame, from shepherd to soldier, from hero to traitor, from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage. The Secret Chord provides new context for some of the best-known episodes of David’s life while also focusing on others, even more remarkable and emotionally intense, that have been neglected.
“The Secret Chord - a thundering, gritty, emotionally devastating reconsideration of the story of King David - makes a masterly case for the generative power of retelling... some of the magic here has to do with setting and time—for sensory dramatics, it’s hard to compete with the Iron Age Middle East... but Brooks’s real accomplishment is that she also enables readers to feel the spirit of the place.” - The New York Times
Geraldine Brooks has an uncanny ability to hear and transform characters from history, and this beautifully written, unvarnished saga of faith, desire, family, ambition, betrayal, and power will enthral her many fans.
