I am ashamed to say I never ready this book in all of my 66 years! Ben Shapiro featured it in a Book Club and I ordered a copy from Biblio - a first edition! I have been swept away, feel like I am living alongside the Jewish people! I am a Christian and greatly respect the Jewish nation and Israel, yet had never understood and heard their history through their words/eyes. While this is a fictional account, the historical details are accurate. Thank you Biblio for giving me this opportunity!!
