Mathew Englander | 2 comments The book is set in Jerusalem but on Goodreads the setting is listed as "Gerusalemme" (I believe the Italian name for the city). This is the English-language edition of a book originally written in Hebrew. I see no reason for the setting to be listed in Italian (it's never referred to that way in the novel itself). As a consequence, the novel does not appear on Goodreads' list of books set in Jerusalem (https://www.goodreads.com/places/1036...) but instead is the sole entry on the list of books set in "Gerusalemme" (https://www.goodreads.com/places/4844...). I wonder if those two Settings pages can be merged. Or if not, just change the book's setting (at least for the English-language edition) to "Jerusalem".

Settings are not edition specific. And this work has at least one Italian edition.

Added back Gerusalemme as a second setting for the work.


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments Oh yeah, sorry didn't think so far that they are not edition specific and that can ve an issue for differently written cities/places.
