Review: Can't wait to find out what happens next!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book intrigued me because I like the idea of a romance set around a story we are all familiar with, Noah's Ark. This story isn't Noah's though, it's his granddaughter Neima's. I am going to admit some ignorance and tell you right now that I have no idea of there was a granddaughter Neima in the bible version. The Noah's Ark version I remember is basically the children's one from a picture book. You know, God told Noah to build an Ark and get two of all of the animals on board. The next picture has a cute cartoon Noah on the boat with all the animals smiling as they look out their port windows, well except for the giraffes who have their heads sticking out of a hole at the top of the boat.This is not that, this book made me think. It took a story I'm familiar with and made it real. People thought Noah was crazy, of course they would but I never thought of it that way before. And, Noah's family dealing with their friends and neighbors thinking he was crazy. The detail in this novel was so clear, the setting, the day to day activities, the smells. I'm anti spoilers so I do not plan on giving any. I will say there is a big cliff hanger ending and I look forward to finding out what happens for Neima.
