Customer Reviews

And who WAS the fairest among women?

I liked this book. As I riffled through the pages, it felt as if I were drifting along in a slow moving stream of life. It was warm and subtle and intriguing. When you are finished reading the book, answer this question: who WAS the fairest among women? Was it Rosa or her daughter, Angel? My favorite scenes in the book were with the gallery of portraits on the bedroom wall. If you liked "The Magician's Assistant" you'll like this one.

another enthralling novel from shifra horn

Another outrageous romantic novel from the author of Four Mothers.The story of Rosa,the large beautiful and voluptuous central figure,is a sensual and emotional tale full of the trademark "magical realism" from Shifra Horn.A bit long but filled with wonderful characters,history and passion; this new work is a must read for anyonre who liked Four Mothers

Another great piece of writing frm shifra horn

Another oustanding novel from Shifra Horn.Like Four Mothers a romantic and sensual novel spanning a vital period in Jerusalem history.It is another really good read with great descriptive passages and lovingly told.There are moments of poignancy and sadness but the humour and fantastic characters carry this story along.I await future books from this author with eagerness.
