From AudioFile

Leah and Shimon Feldstein escape to Jerusalem's Jewish quarter from Austria just before WWII erupts in Europe. Reports from England on the wireless have promised Palestine will be a safe haven. But Leah is wounded by a car bomb, and Shimon barely misses being lynched by an Arab mob. These pioneering Jewish settlers, attempting to reclaim their Biblical Promised Land, face the same terrors that still haunt Israel today. Thoene's fourth novel in the inspirational Zion Covenant series follows the Feldsteins and other families fleeing persecution in Nazi-threatened Poland. Susan O'Malley's calm, matter-of-fact tone contrasts with the violence in the story to chilling effect. Her tender yet determined delivery renews the listener's belief in the power of faith against overwhelming odds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Tragedy!, February 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jerusalem Interlude (Zion Covenant, Book 4) (Paperback)

This book leaves Romeo and Juliet in the dust! If I were a movie director,(which I very well may end up being) I would definitely make a movie out of it! The characters are very endearing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful story- I cry every time, June 17, 2008

lady victoria "vickl1" (Lilburn, Ga. United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jerusalem Interlude (Zion Covenant, Book 4) (Paperback)

This is the best book in the series by far! I say that partly because I love Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and the musical West Side Story. Elements from both works are present here. Victoria's warning to Eli "Do not swear by the stars" brings to mind Juliet's "Swear not by the moon/The inconstant moon." Eli cries out his beloved's name when a death occurs just as Tony cries out "Maria!" after the rumble. Also I like the change of scene. Elisa and Murphy are still present but the focus here is more on Shimon and Leah Feldstein, two of my favorite characters from A Daughter of Zion. Readers who have read the Zion Chronicles before this series will recognize Moshe Sachar and Rachel Lubetkin, principal characters in that series, and may be slighly surprised at the ending of
this book. (Hint: Read over Gates of Zion first.)

I hope that the fellow reviewer who wants to make movies makes a movie out of this some day!

After reading the description about this book, I was a little worried it wouldn't be in very good shape. But when I recieved it, I can say 100% it had never been read. The book was in PERFECT shape. Not even a bend in the binding, or fingerprint on the cover. I will buy from them as often as I can. Thank you for a product that exceeded my expectations.
