Dreaming in Egypt-The Story of Asenath and Joseph Kindle Edition

by Maria Isabel Pita (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 62 ratings
See all formats and editions
Daughter of the high priest of Re, Asenath is a child when she first meets the Hebrew slave, Joseph. That night her lucid dreams begin as her heart and destiny are forever joined with the extraordinary man whom Elohim, the one true God, has chosen as part of His plan for the world's redemption through the Incarnation. The untold story of Asenath’s awakening to the divine truth through the power of love and dreams gives flesh, blood and soul to the woman Scripture merely names as Joseph’s bride.

Maria Isabel Pita draws directly from the Biblical Book of Genesis to tell the story of Joseph from a remarkable new perspective. The Story of Asenath and Joseph is a heart-soaring tale of romance, destiny, dreams, and faith that views the rise of a captive Hebrew from slave to prisoner to ruler through the eyes of the woman who loves him.

Loved the vivid descriptions and the characters. Enjoyed the story line as it used the facts in the Bible and the author's vivid imagination to fill in and enhance the story in areas where the Bible is silent .

I liked the point of view the author chose, and they did a fantastic job detailing the story and bringing the imagery to life. I did get a little lost or slowed down at times. All in all decent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Smart and Beautifully Written Novel
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2017
Dreaming in Egypt is the story of Joseph and Asenath. Interestingly, Joseph's role and contributions in Egypt are sufficiently documented and really quite fascinating. Asenath's historical contributions unfortunately are not well captured. As such, this book is the author's attempt to bring Asenath to life, from Asenath's own perspective and within the context of what is known via recorded history. Ms. Pita uses her copious knowledge of the Bible, Ancient Egypt and her experiences and knowledge of dreaming and lucid dreaming to do just that. And she does a wonderful job of it.

I found this story quite fascinating. When Joseph and Asenath first meet, she is a privileged child from a noble family. Joseph is quite the opposite. Yet she finds herself attracted to him on numerous levels. Not the least of which is their mutual interest in dreams and spiritual pursuits. This begins a sequence of events wherein their lives seem to be intertwined by fate. Often times, he is there for her, and vice versa. When a terrible injustice is thrust upon Joseph, Asenath is at least able to intervene and save him from almost certain execution.

A stunning twist of fate befalls Joseph roughly half way in the novel. Without giving too much away, because his dreaming and dream interpretation skills are well known (at least to Asenath), he is given a chance to interpret a Pharaoh's dream when all others have failed. Not only is this of tremendous historical importance (in terms of planning for the safety and health of those under Pharaoh's wing) it also earns Joseph a new life, purpose and direction. It is here, that Asenath is finally able to realize her desire to be with Joseph.

The remainder of the book chronicles their lives together. Their interactions with each other, family, friends and their mutual achievements. In the last portion of the book, Joseph is re-united with his past, and this has complex implications to his relationship with Asenath. It is here that Asenath at times reveals her own personal fragility. But her faith in God helps her to work through this challenge, and in the end provides for a most warm and satisfying conclusion to the book.

For me, this novel was the right mix of historical fact, artistic license, beautiful story telling and the overall theme of dreaming and spirituality. I don't really know of another author who could have pulled together a story quite like this. Most important to me, having read the book I feel like Ms. Pita really did bring Asenath and her experiences to life. I feel like I know this woman and her experiences and historical relevance via this novel. Overall, a very pleasing and entertaining read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! Until the end, it’s horrible!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2017
Wonderful story of Joseph and Asenath, how they meet, each of their journeys and even more unique of its from Asenath’s perspective! I love the world building Maria Isabel Pita did, beautifully written and I could put the story down, had to finish reading it!

That being said, hated the ending. (Spoiler warning) For a couple of chapters we see and feel how worried, unhappy and stressed Asenath is, and I was waiting for a good resolution to happen so that the story could end on a good note between Asenath and Joseph, but no!

I can kinda see where the author was trying to go, but felt that she could even have made it that Joseph knew of Asenath’s troubles, instead I’m left feeling like Joseph is a jerk and neglectful husband and Asenath was never understood in the end by him. She’s extremely worried about death and life after death, and wants to plan her tomb and such with her husband but the one time she brings it up to him he doesn’t respond, and before things can get fully resolved over it, the author ends the story!

Overall loved it, beautifully written, but the ending felt like the author either decided she didn’t want to write anymore and so cut things off without resolving things or rushed it.
