{"product_id":"the-women-at-the-well-grace-bauer-9781622881147","title":"The Women at the Well","description":"\"In \u003ci\u003eThe Women at the Well\u003c\/i\u003e, Bauer sings out of silent alternative stories of the Biblical women she first encountered as a schoolgirl listening to the nuns. Wry humor is only one element of Bauer's illuminating re-vision as she inhabits her women in the longing, sassiness, rebellion, compassion, wavering, and triumph. She lets them like each other--Rachel and Leah reconcile--and lets them relish their bodies. Mary complains about never 'knowing pleasure.' She creates The Prodigal Daughter who, like Woolf's Judith Shakespeare, experiences a vastly different fate from her male counterpart's. But unlike poor Judith, this daughter survives and bears her own girl child . . . I had my favorites among Bauer's women, and you will, too. Whoever they are, the Bible will never be the same.\"--Carole Simmons Oles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace Bauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1622881141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781622881147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen F.
