Now David Maine has relaunched the ark. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. But, these days, everyone is getting in on the act. Genesis, that book of stories to end all stories, with its fratricide, rape, polygamy and incest, has inspired more than one novelist. Maybe it was simply because he could.

A new look at a very old story. The Genesis Flood by J C Whitcomb. I particularly enjoyed the internal monologues of the characters. I also thought the way the author developed the relationship between each couple as their ordeal continued was very well done. The way the sons and daughter-in-laws tiptoed round Noe was very human and the sheer misery and weariness for the inhabitants of the ark was well conveyed. happy sad. funny serious.

In The Flood, Noe's family tell what it's like to live with a man touched by the hand of God, while struggling against events they cannot control or explain. When Noe orders his sons to build an ark, he can't tell them where the wood or other materials will come from, just that God will provide. When Noe orders his daughters-in-law to gather the animals, they set off on their difficult journeys with no specifics, no money, and no protection, just Noe's faith that God will make it work. And once the rain starts, the family is trapped on the ark with no experience in feeding or caring for the animals, and no idea when the endless waters will recede. What emerges is a picture of a real family caught in the midst of an extraordinary Biblical event - and all the tension, humanity, and even humour that that implies.
