The Opera Populaire

Now this is what I call historian's integrity.

For those who have yet to read the prequel to the above book, I encourage you to! Called "Haddassah: One Night with the King", it has apparently been made into a movie though I have yet to be able to find it in Singapore. Based on the author, Tommy Tenney's extensive research into the life of Queen Esther, the book is a political thriller that combines suspense and romance as well as life's lessons.

The sequel is a combination of historical facts interweaved with fiction. No less thrilling than the prequel, the emotions I experienced upon reading it is very much like the time when I read the "Da Vinci Code". For a synopsis, you can refer to www.hadassahcovenant.com. And I love how the author takes pains to put up a webpage dedicated to explaining which aspects of the book are fictional and which are not. http://www.godchasers.net/index.cfm/pageID/782/index.html The plot does not attempt to make claims regarding history as well.

The books are available in Tecman at Bras Basah complex.
