Review from Andy Smith

09/16/2011

This novel assembles a cast of characters as diverse as Israel itself and brings them into sharp relief with a wonderfully told story that illuminates not only its fictional characters but the state of Israel (in both senses) today. The narrative is told in the first person by each character, whose personal histories reflect the context of Israel's recent history. Brief, poetic, non-narrative introductory sections convey the spiritual dimension of the land and its emotional content for Israel's inhabitants and devotees. A splendid read that stays with you.

The Human Face Of Conflict

Hi, My name is Batya, and I am the author of Israela. I would love to hear from you, to get to know what your connection is to Israel, or what your interest might be in a book that portrays the complexities, the joys and the tragedies of its people.Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. As for myself, other than Israel, my passions are theater, history, walking with my son's dog on the mountains, and reading. Nothing world shattering. I have one of my Israela characters blogging you. Check it out. If you like it, I could write more.
