It’s a contemporary retelling of the Noah’s Ark story – only now with Noah’s wife coming into her own as the main character. (Gradually, at any rate.)
Just released in January, “Noah’s Wife” is the debut novel of Lindsay Starck. Originally from Wisconsin, she now lives in Chapel Hill as she pursues a doctorate in comparative literature at UNC.
Starck discussed the novel with Aaron Keck (and read a short passage) this week on WCHL.
