QSpirit Queer Best Fiction Book of the Year

"Tracks closely to the biblical text. Impeccable research means times, places, and interactions adhere to the often harsh realities of the ancient world. This book does not shy aware from the glaring imbalances of ancient life, as depicted in First and Second Samuel. It does, however, steer readers into the worlds of two men who shared a passionate and troubled love story, with long-lasting implications even as they relate to current topics in our modern lives." 

"A beautiful but controversial retelling of the Biblical story of David and Jonathan."

"The twist on what is an actual abomination went someplace completely different than anticipated, and in many ways had far more impact than simply being salacious." 

"Richly researched and remarkably faithful to historical biblical texts, Abomination challenges traditional interpretations of ancient law while delivering a gripping, deeply emotional story of love and survival."

"I finished it in one sitting. A must for anyone interested in how the Bible relays this unique bond."

"I adore this biblical account of star-crossed lovers."

"Weaves historical and contemporary themes into this novel."'

"The characters come alive. Sometimes it's difficult to handle the pure disregard men had for women in 3000-4000 BCE. Yet the author shines a light on their devaluation."
