Story outline
The novel follows the story of the biblical figure Moses who found the Ten Commandments and parted the Red Sea.
Critical reception
In her review of the book in The Australian Women's Weekly Nicola Worsley concluded: "I will admit to being beguiled by the whole publication. Thomas Keneally, with a novelist's imagination and insight, has taken familiar and unfamiliar aspects of Moses' life to bring to interesting reality this dramatic tale."
