Since the publication of his modern classic The Caine Mutinyin the 1950s, legendary author Herman Wouk has held onto the dream of penning a novel about Moses' life. The culmination of that ambition, The Lawgiver explores this daunting subject through the efforts of a group of people trying to make a film about the biblical hero's life. Told through correspondences as varied as memos and letters to text messages and Skype transcripts, the story of ancient ex-ploits is also a captivating mirror to contemporary life.
