The Wives of Israel will be the fourth novel in The Women of Genesis series by Orson Scott Card. This book has yet to be released. It will be a continuation of the previous novel in the Women of Genesis series; Rachel and Leah. The book left off after Rachel had married Jacob, following the marriage of her sister Leah. Card states in the afterword of said novel that he had not intended to have the story be continued in two more books, but that it would have been too much to include the marriage/concubinage of the sister's handmaidens and so decided to put them into consecutive books to cover... that subject as well as the children and their raising and adventures . Though Card says that he plans to leave the matter of Judah's daughter-in-law, Tamar, alone. At this time, the expected release date is unknown.
