What was it really like at the Flood? Timna is Noah's daughter - she doesn't appear in the traditional story, but she was there. Then there is the family - tyrannical Noah, his long-suffering wife, her insufferable brothers and their wives. Their views present an alternative vision of a familiar story. This is an uncomfortable book aimed at young readers but well worth the effort. McCaughrean is a good writer who is not afraid to be different.
