Fletcher, Martin

Engrossing for historical fiction fans, especially those drawn to the dramatic events of the mid-20th century.

Although some readers, especially those hoping for a travel memoir, will feel that his disquisitions, as he establishes the historical setting of each town he visits, impede the book's tempo, overall they may appreciate this take on Israel in its past, current, and future contexts. Recommended for those seeking to stay informed about Israel and its diverse peoples.
