I wasn't so sure I was going to like this book. It was a book club selection so I was coerced into reading it. I was greatly surprised to find it very interesting and enjoyable. I don't think I will read the rest of the series, but I am glad I read this one. I liked that I learned about an event in history that I never-ever thought about before, the partition of Israel and Palestine or rather the creation of modern day Israel soon after the holocaust (definitely biased towards the Jews andI have always enjoyed reading about various religions and especially in a historical perspective. This book is the first in a series of 5 and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Written in a novel which includes romance, danger and history this is an excellent book. Enjoy.
The reason I chose 5 stars was because this series usually I walk past, but on a friends recommendation I picked up the first book. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved this book. So much that I bought the entire series in a nice collection. I loved the History and the fact that the characters and the events are actual events and real people that lived in these most trying times of faith and perseverance.

It's interesting reading this series after having read most of the Zion Covenant, since this was published first, but is chronologically second. So I'm seeing the stories in order, but if I'd read them in published order, I would have already known some of what was going to happen to the characters in the Covenant series, which is more of a background of less prominent characters in this one.The writing improved from this book to the Covenant series, but it's not bad. It's a look into a world
This book covers an interesting and often overlooked piece of history, the establishment of Israel for the Jewish people after World War II. Unfortunately, the characters failed to draw me in or make me care about them. The women are so beautiful it is difficult for the men to decide which one they love, and the women suffer similarly because both men are handsome and courageous. The dialog is unrealistic and at times cringeworthy. As others have pointed out, the "bad guys" are all ignorant and
