T.K. Thorne's new novel _Angels at the Gate_ is bold and insightful historical fiction. Don't expect the simple recounting of a bible story here. Yes, Lot's wife (Adira/Adir) is the central character, but her story is the product of the author's very creative mind. Thorne's extensive on-site research gives this book a genuine air of authenticity. Adir herself gives the book it’s strong and romantic soul. This brave, resourceful woman lives as a man to protect her freedom, but “The Angel’s” alure is strong. If you are a fan of historical fiction, this is a must read!
