          <body><![CDATA[An excellent, engrossing portrait of 17th century Amsterdam and the life of Jews there.  It also raises interesting questions about how autonomous Jewish community councils governed when they had power.  The plot moves well and interestingly.  Character development was not so strong.]]></body>
