In the Shadow of the Ark

(4) YA Translated by John Nieuwenhuizen. Re Jana moves with her fisherman father to the desert in order to escape the rising waters of the marshes. There they join up with the despised, ridiculed "Rrattika," a family building an enormous ark. This retelling of the biblical Flood story is packed with incident but overlong and tedious.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
