Sunday in Sodom
In the Bible she is unnamed, referred to simply as "Lot’s wife": the impertinent woman who was turned to a pillar of salt for looking back to behold God’s destruction of her hometown. In Sunday in Sodom, Edith recounts how her husband Lot welcomed American soldiers into their house, the fury this sparked in their village, and the chain of events that lead to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. But most importantly, Edith sets the record straight as to why, after being told not to, she looked back upon the destruction of her hometown and turned into a pillar of salt.
