Crisscross pressures and childhood friendships

Set in the Holy Land during the early 1900s, before and during World War I, The Circle: Terror And Triumph In The Holy Land by H. Edward Schmidt is a compelling historical fiction about the Poletsky family of Arach, his wife Rivka, and their two children Sarah and Yitzhak. They are a Jewish family who live on the sacred soil of Palestine even as war erupts all around them. As the fate of the land is debated and promised, the family's son joins the Circle, a hard-core and extreme Zionist group committed to murdering its enemies, while the daughter embraces a vision of a free Palestinian state with both Jewish and Arab citizens. Crisscross pressures and childhood friendships create multiple conflicts in this heated page-turner of a novel.
