by Adam S. Miller (Author)

Like Adam Miller's work on Ecclesiastes and Romans, The Sun Has Burned My Skin is a loose paraphrase that aims more for the replication of a certain mood than for the correspondence of particular words and phrases. The songs themselves are a collection of age-old Israelite love songs, searing and intense, sung principally by a young woman who is bold, confident, and only just exposed to the tidal pull of love and sex.
