This epic religious fantasy is a 186,000-word retelling of the life of Moses (drawn from Sund’s research on the Torah for his Ph.D. in Mythological Studies ). The novel in five “books” follows themes and stories from each book of the Torah. Early readings elicited this response:
“Asher’s novel, House of Life, is the best unpublished manuscript I’ve seen in years. It’s a 630-page retelling of the Torah—the life of Moses—but it reads like a hilarious, heartbreaking, suspenseful, cinematic, literary, sweeping epic adventure.”
—Will Allison, New York Times bestselling author and contributing editor of One Story.
