I enjoyed this book very much and was disappointed by his other one Conspiracy of Paper (or something like that). It's easy to get into the characters and it becomes surprisingly suspenseful.

I want to thank you for this series. I am only in the middle of the first book and loving each time I pick it up.

Perhaps you would consider adding my novel THE HERETIC to your list. Lorraine Gordon, the wife of Noah Gordon, read THE HERETIC and had this to say ... "When I finished reading your wonderful novel, I wished I had another one just like it. I thoroughly enjoyed The Heretic. As a matter of fact, it has the same appeal as Noah’s books have for me ... well-drawn characters, interesting history, and an absorbing story.”

I have the first 2 on my TBR pile.

I would highly recommend The River Midnight by Lilian Nattel

When it comes to Jewish historical fiction it doesn't get more Jewish or historical than my RASHI'S DAUGHTERS trilogy. The final volume just went on sale this week.Rashi's Daughters, Book III Rachel A Novel of Love and the Talmud in Medieval France, Rashi's Daughters Joheved, Rashi's Daughters, Book II Miriam.

I am reading 'The Physician' by Noah Gordon but of course:

'The Source' James Michener
'Exodus' Leon Uris
'After Long Silence' Helen Fremont
'Winds of War' and
'War and Remembrance' Herman Wouk

and many more. I am very interested in Jewish Historical fiction and would like to create a near-definitive list (a Herculean labor I know, but worth a shot) so keep those suggestions coming!

Hi, I just joined this group. Some suggestions for books are The Red Tent by Anita Daimant, and the following Holocaust books: The Book Thief, Sarah's Key, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, My Enemy's Cradle, Those Who Saved Us. Other Jewish fiction include the Evergreen trilogy by Belva Plain, Leah's Journey and Leah's Children by Gloria Goldreich (about the settlement of Jewish families in America, early 20th century). She also wrote That Year of Our War which is about a Jewish American family in NY during World War II, one of my favorite books. Naomi Ragen also wrote some very intriguing historical fiction.....Jephte's Daughter, Sotah, The Sacrifice of Tamar, The Ghost of Hannah Mendes, and the Covenant...all excellect depictions of Jewish life, both modern and historical.

do you guys want to pick a book to read

My recent picks are:

The End of the Jews by Adam Mansbach
Charity Girl by Michael Lowenthal
The Chosen (or pretty much anything by Chaim Potok)

and a memoir (not fiction)-- Naked in the Promised Land by Lillian Faderman

Hi,

Is any out there and have any ideas? I added a few.
