Hamutal Bar-Yosef Ordre des livres

A vast amount of research was invested in this book, and readers will enjoy the detailed reconstructions. Bar-Yosef provides rich, colorful descriptions of life in Prussia in the nineteenth century; Jewish life in central Europe; the world of German and English science; the nuances and rituals of British royalty; the political world of Britain before and after the First World War; and the network of hidden ties between Arabs, Bedouins, British, and Jews in Mandatory Palestine. This is a major work of historical research. Zur Ehrlich, Makor Rishon This novel is very impressive. It provides a picture of non-Jewish and Jewish life, particularly the characteristic problems and prejudices that Jews encountered among non-Jews. The writing reflects great talent. The characters and the period come alive for the reader. I enjoyed it very much. Eli Amir, prize-winning author of Scapegoat, The Dove Flyer, and many more The writing is outstanding, to put it mildly - restrained but precise. The historical information is rich and fascinating. The characters are interesting and moving, while the family story serves to illuminate history. Emuna Alon, author of If You Awaken Love, House on Endless Waters, and many more
