“If you like juicy historical novels with richly-drawn Jewish characters living interesting lives, then this is a novel you must read.
[The] characters, both Jewish and Christian, are surprising in their depth of personality and by their believability.
The story is a real page turner.
Ruth is noble and honest; a modern woman set in a far-off time.” —Australian Jewish News
“Like a tapestry, the setting is meticulously detailed [and] carefully woven.
Learner has a rich historical palette to play with and uses it to create a plot that gains pace as it progresses.
The novel will appeal to reader who delight in the worlds conjured in Anne Rice’s dark historical romances.
Like Rice, Learner writes with a leaning toward eroticism.” —Australian Bookseller & Publisher
