Book Overview

A Daughter of Israel is a novel written by Rose Porter and published in 1899. The story revolves around the life of a young Jewish girl named Rachel, who is born and raised in a small village in Russia. Rachel's family is poor, but they are deeply religious and instill in her a strong sense of faith and tradition. As Rachel grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of the anti-Semitic attitudes of the non-Jewish people in her village. Despite this, she remains committed to her faith and her community. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she falls in love with a young man from outside her village. The novel explores themes of love, faith, and identity, as Rachel struggles to reconcile her feelings for her non-Jewish suitor with her loyalty to her family and her faith. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a wise rabbi, a cruel landlord, and a group of Russian revolutionaries. Overall, A Daughter of Israel is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the life of a young Jewish woman in turn-of-the-century Russia. It is a story of love, loss, and the struggle to find one's place in a world that is often hostile to those who are different.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
