Potiphar's Wife: A Novel
Mesu Andrews · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Lisa Negrón
71/100
👍 Worth It
Andrews does real work giving voice to Genesis's unnamed antagonist, and the historical research shows — it's a thoughtful, well-built take on a tricky biblical figure. Just know the subject matter (seduction, a false accusation) runs more mature than typical clean fiction, and at least one listener found narrator Lisa Negrón's tone oddly sharp in scenes that needed tenderness.

🎙 Narration: fine Reviews split — some called Lisa Negrón 'excellent,' while at least one reviewer felt her tone was often unnecessarily caustic or sarcastic in scenes calling for tenderness.
