A riveting, deeply evocative novel of the highest caliber. Set against the backdrop of the Second Temple, with the Romans poised for all-out war and destruction, this historical work tells the tale of heroic devotion to Temple worship and to God, despite Herculean challenges. Yoseph’s forced marriage to the mute Sarah is but one link in a fascinating chain of events that begin with his pious grandfather’s horrific death, and culminate in a dazzling array of bittersweet triumphs. Woven through with beauty, mysticism, blood-curdling battle cries, and true-to-life characters, this novel truly raises the bar. |
