'A searing portrait of history as both knife and the longing heart it seeks. Tidhar's best.' -- Junot Diaz 'Has the feel of a modern western... explores the creation of modern Israel through a wide cast of characters, a jumble of genres and a bleak appreciation of the complexity of the history * The Sunday Times * Tidhar never takes the direct route and has turned his historical canvas into a decidedly noir epic, almost as if a Jewish version of James Ellroy was in control -- Maxim Jakubowski * CrimeTime * Tidhar's accomplished scene-setting conjures up a long-vanished world on the cusp of conflict - one that continues to this day * Financial Times * The feel and senses of this complicated world come vividly to life, and you can almost smell the hot sand and sun-baked goats. Twists and turns abound, and the body count mounts up – as it continues to do today unfortunately in this contested place. * Historical Novels Review *
