Publisher's summary
Thrust into an arranged marriage, the daughter of ancient Egypt’s high priest plays a pivotal role in Joseph’s biblical narrative in this powerful novel from the award-winning author of Potiphar’s Wife.
After four-year-old Asenath’s mother is murdered by Egypt’s foreign rulers, the child is raised to be a priestess by her overprotective father—high priest of Egypt’s sun god. For fifteen years, Asenath is sequestered in the upper levels of Ra’s temple, convinced it is her destiny to heal the land by becoming queen to the next Egyptian pharaoh. But when Egypt’s foreign king instead gives her as a bride to the newly appointed vizier—a Hebrew named Joseph—her entire world is shaken.
Beyond the walls of her tower, Asenath discovers treachery, deceit, and conspiracy that force her to redefine her destiny and weigh where her true loyalties lie. Can she still trust the gods of Egypt? Or is Elohim, the foreign God of her husband, the one who will heal her nation during the feast and famine to come?

"You will be called Anippe, daughter of the Nile. Do you like it?" Without waiting for a reply, she pulls me into her squishy, round tummy for a hug. I’m trying not to cry. Pharaoh's daughters don't cry. When we make our way down the tiled hall, I try to stop at ummi Kiya's chamber. I know her spirit has flown, yet I long for one more moment. Amenia pushes me past so I keep walking and don't look back. Like the waters of the Nile, I will flow.

The prophet Nehemiah's cousin can speak numerous languages, keep complex accounts, write on rolls of parchment and tablets of clay, and solve great mysteries. There is only one problem: She's a woman in a man's court. In her early childhood years, Sarah experienced the death of her mother and her father's subsequent emotional distance, and she came to two conclusions: God does not care about me, and my accomplishments are the measure of my worth.

What if you could climb into Mesu Andrews' mind while she plotted a biblical novel? Have you ever wished you knew more about a character's motivation? Or more personal history that led to the characters' emotional reactions? Prophets & Kings answer those questions. His Unfathomable Plan attests to God's absolute goodness and sovereignty over even the most painful events of our lives. Before Aya becomes Isaiah's prophetess wife, she cares for a little girl who young Prince Ahaz later agrees to marry.

Exceptional Biblical Fiction
- By Suzie Waltner on 12-22-20
Critic reviews
"Mesu’s talent for intertwining extensive research with riveting storytelling breathes freshness into the ancient and beloved story of Joseph. I highly recommend this fascinating glimpse into his life and faith journey, along with that of Asenath, the often overlooked Egyptian woman at his side.”—Connilyn Cossette, Christy Award-winning and ECPA bestselling author
“In the pages of In Feast or Famine, Mesu Andrews shines light on the little-known but beloved wife of Joseph. With deftness and deep insight, she brings her characters to vivid life, lifting Asenath from obscurity to multifaceted daughter, wife, future mother, and ultimately a believer in Elohim. Well researched and richly presented, this latest offering is a literary feast!”—Laura Frantz, Christy Award-winning author of The Rose and the Thistle
“Mesu Andrews possesses the ability to pull aside the curtain to the past and bring biblical characters to life. Although long familiar with the biblical story of Joseph and his transition from slave to powerful leader, I was mesmerized by the journey this story laid out for him. My deepest takeaway can be found in a single line of dialogue: “Elohim meets us in our pain.” Truth indeed, painted eloquently by this author’s gifted pen. I highly recommend this novel.”—Kim Vogel Sawyer, bestselling author of Freedom’s Song

Does not disappoint
I love fiction, and I love Mesu Andrew’s’ biblical fiction most of all. Not only does it draw me in as the author creates a fascinating and intricate story, but I find myself giving thanks for God’s love and promises for his people. Her books also draw me to God’s word with a renewed hunger and a deeper reverence for our Most High God. Definitely recommend!

Interesting interpretation
Lots of details/names to follow. I thought the plots were kind of far fetched. I generally enjoy her books but this is probably my least favorite.

Lifetimr of wonder!
I super love this novel! Though difficult to muddle through parts of the Egyptology, this book hooks your mind from beginning to end! It is engaging, tragic, fun, and fascinating! A novel well worth listening to!

Joseph Takes a Wife
The story of Joseph has always been one of my favorite in the Bible.. This is the first I ever considered him being a husband and what it would be like to have a wife. This addresses the dysfunction in many homes, yet it also shows God's love for those who seek him. Mesu Andrews does a great job bringing to life the challenges during the 7 years of feast and the seven years of famine. If you enjoy intrigue, you will enjoy this book. Listening to this on audible was a little bit challenging due to all of the complexity of the names of the characters. You really need to pay attention.

Outstanding
this book was brilliantly written and engaging.
I normally read three to four books at a time, but all my other books were set aside as I read this one.
my only complaint was that it ended. it's one of those books that you want to go on and on.

Joseph and Asenath's Story
A delightful and most interesting yet informative book about how Joseph meets his Egyptian wife and a little about her background and how she comes to believe in only the God of Abraham and he comes to love an respect her as well.

Author does her homework!
When you get to the end of this book, the author’s notes reveal how much research Mesu puts in when she writes a novel. It is well written, and I enjoyed it. However, it does get confusing at times with so many names and the politics involved. If you want easy listening, this probably isn’t the right book for you.
