(4) YA When teenage Salome's power-hungry mother marries King Antipas, Salome must give up her calling (to serve the goddess Diana). Instead, she is ultimately manipulated into performing the notorious dance of the seven veils. The multitude of characters and political intrigues are dizzying, especially to those unfamiliar with the Bible story. But in Salome herself, the book builds a multidimensional, sympathetic character.
