Agent: Wendy Lawton, Books & Such Literary Agency. In the Field of Grace PUBLISHED JULY 2014 The story of a love that ultimately changes the course of Israel’s destiny and the future of the whole world. Yet her suppositions in the depiction of Ruth’s backstory, and Boaz’s gallant rescue of the damsel in distress, have more in common with the story of Cinderella than the story of the Bible. Afshar does remain true to the basic premise of the biblical account. As with her previous books, Afshar brings to life a well-known Biblical tale in a marvellously realistic way. It tells the story of Salmon and Rahab’s son, Boaz, and his Ruth one of the most famous love stories in the Bible. Boaz, a wealthy landowner and cousin of her father-in-law, finds Ruth gleaning in his fields, and the widower takes an immediate interest in her, bringing hope to the young widow’s sad existence. In The Field of Grace is fourth book by Tessa Afshar, and is a sequel of sorts to my beloved Pearl In The Sand. Naomi’s grief renders her practically catatonic, and Ruth is left to provide in both matters of finances and faith.

Ruth’s oppressive home life may diminish the sacrifice she later makes to follow her mother-in-law, Naomi, to Israel. In fleshing out Ruth’s character, Afshar portrays the young Moabite as a downtrodden sibling, mistreated by her sisters and a disappointment to her parents. Afshar ( Pearl in the Sand) dramatizes the story of Ruth in her fourth novel of historical fiction.
