Review:
"A superb measure of lyricism mixed with suspense. Read it and you will be enriched." -- Elie Wiesel

"An absolute knockout of a book for anyone who has been to or is going to Israel." -- Robert Littell, author of The Company and The Amateur

"An artful treatment of history worthy of the highest praise." -- A. B. Yehoshua, author of The Liberated Bride and A Journey to the End of the Millennium

"An important addition to the work of questioning and re-reading the history of Palestine and the Middle East." -- Diana Abu Jaber, author of Arabian Jazz and Crescent

"In probing the mystery, Halkin uses the tools of an expert novelist and a skilled investigative journalist." -- Booklist, April 1, 2005

"Vivid, almost poetic prose...Halkin is, among other things, a first-rate detective...An extraordinary achievement." -- Washington Times, June 19, 2005

"Will provide any reader with the pleasure of high entertainment played out against a background of unending historical interest." -- Commentary, June 1, 2005

"[Halkin is] also a terrific investigator-narrator-tour guide. It's a difficult combination to resist." -- New York Post, June 5, 2005

A[n] entertaining book...full of flamboyant figures, sparkling conversation, snappy wit, lyrical description...autobiography, history, counter-histories...bobbe meises, and almost mythical incidents... -- The Jerusalem Report, September 19, 2005

Stunning... It is hard to imagine a more beautiful and evocative piece of writing about Palestine under the Ottoman Turks. --New York Sun, June 1, 2005
