SODOM & GOMORRAH: A Retelling for Adults: 3

A city can become a home. A home can become a compromise. And sometimes survival is not the same as innocence.In this dark literary retelling of Sodom & Gomorrah, Lot looks back on the life he built in a city doomed by its own cruelty. He remembers the day he chose the fertile plain, the years he spent earning a place at the gate, the wife who understood the city better than he ever could, and the slow moral bargains that allowed him to call Sodom home.When two mysterious visitors arrive at the gate, Lot offers them shelter. By morning, everything he has built is placed under judgment. As fire falls on the valley, Lot must confront not only the destruction of Sodom, but the cost of having lived there, prospered there, and learned how not to see.Told in a restrained, haunting voice, Sodom & Gomorrah is a mature reimagining of Genesis 19 about guilt, survival, grief, and the terrible weight of looking back.Part of the Bible Stories for Adults series, this novel is intended for mature readers and treats the ancient story as literary tragedy rather than devotional retelling.
