    About this ebook

    The Tower of Babel is a well-known story from the Jewish scriptures that relates the story of how men angered God and as a result the confusion of human languages was brought into being. Yet what if the story was told by ancient women? How would the story differ? This is an attempt to re-imagine the story from a female perspective. This is neither history nor theology. This is humour with a political edge.

    This novel is dedicated to the memory of the crusading immigration lawyer Sonia Burgess, whose 2010 murder led the project to be abandoned. The novel had been finished as this is the 2010 novel with some minor tidying up.
