About the author

I grew up in the US, but I've lived in the UK for over forty years, now, and it was the smartest move I ever made (after marrying the most wonderful husband in the world). As a writer of historicals, it's almost inspiring to live so close to a couple of thousand years of history (or at least historical remains).

This book is a childhood favorite of mine. It's one of the best jewish novels out there! Would highly suggest it.

[Isabelle Heinemann · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a brilliant, gripping children's book which takes its audience seriously and communicates historical facts better than many an "adult" historical novel. Highly recommended!
