Novelist Geraldine Brooks

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks has written a new historical novel, "The Secret Chord," which focuses on the biblical King David. Managing editor Kim Lawton visited Brooks at her home on Martha’s Vineyard to talk about the writer’s conversion to Judaism, her sense of Jewish spirituality, and what she learned while researching the Hebrew prophets and the story of David, whose life, she says, embodies “the dark and the light of the human condition.” Watch this story on our website: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/2015/10/16/october-16-2015-author-geraldine-brooks/27485/ --- Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly http://www.pbs.org/religion
