I just finished reading Rachel & Leah, and am looking forward to the conclusion, when it is written.
These novels got me thinking that there are many more "women's stories" that are also calling out to be told. For instance, the three women in Moses's life (Jochebed, his mother; Miriam, his sister; and Zipporah, his wife.)
I'm not sure how much of the story OSC would want to tell, however, since it is a vast one. It would start with Jochebed's childhood (born to Levi in Egypt, and therefore a granddaughter of Leah), and would end with the death of the three, during the 40 years in the desert. We'd be talking about a time span well over 100 years, and involving events from Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
I realize, of course, that OSC has more projects than he can possibly deal with at this time (between teaching, the Ender movie, and other novels), but if it's at all possible to request that more be added to the stack without sounding like an Egyptian taskmaster, I'd love to see him tell this story.

Stone Tables covers Moses and the woman in his life. It's been a while since I have read it, but you might want to check that out.
