Jerusalem, taking a live-in job as a companion to a cantankerous old

woman of enchanting beauty, who also lives in the house. As the
household's tangled, tragic past becomes apparent, so too does story
behind the birth of the state of Israel.

storyteller at the height of his powers. 'A hero of mine, a moral as
well as literary giant' Simon Schama'One of his boldest works of all'
