- Title
- In a Milk and Honeyed Land, a historical fiction novel
- Summary
- In a Milk and Honeyed Land is a novel about everyday life about 3,000 years ago in the hill country of
Canaan – now called Israel and Palestine – close to the end of the time of Egyptian rule of that
province. It explores how the vast changes in lifestyle, politics, religion and music that occurred
in that area between what archaeologists call the Bronze Age and Iron Age might have been mirrored by
individual people’s words and actions. The large-scale actions and military campaigns of the Egyptian
pharaoh and other great kings are nowhere in sight; this is a story of the resources and people
available within four small allied communities.

- About the book
- Life, love and conflict in the hill country
Damariel is apprenticed as a young man by the village priest, whose reckless actions lead to his
disgrace. Damariel manages to avoid becoming implicated in the matter and carries on his training,
marrying his childhood friend Qetirah shortly before they begin their shared ministry in the town.
Feeling ashamed of their continuing inability to have children, Qetirah becomes pregnant by the
chief of the four towns, but the pregnancy is difficult. Damariel’s anger and outrage spills over
into the marriage. He holds the chief responsible for the situation but cannot see how to get either
justice or revenge.
