For Jacob Rappaport, a Jewish soldier in the Union army, it is a question his commanders have answered for him: on Passover in 1862 he is ordered to murder his own uncle, who is plotting to assassinate President Lincoln.<p /> <p /> After that night, will Jacob ever speak for himself? The answer comes when his commanders send him on another mission—this time not to murder a spy but to marry one.<p /> <p /> A page-turner rich with romance and the history of America (North and South), this is a book only Dara Horn could have written. Full of insight and surprise, layered with meaning, it is a brilliant parable of the moral divide that still haunts us: between those who value family first and those dedicated, at any cost, to social and racial justice for all.</p> 5361774 book 2 4 2009 All Other Nights: A Novel total:181|5:38|4:70|3:59|2:10|1:4| 181 671 437 61 5 1 false false Sun Mar 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 15:35:10 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 09:10:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Jun 13 19:44:26 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 19:44:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 19:50:47 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 19:51:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 06:53:32 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 07:20:02 -0700 2009
