Jerusalem, 1959. Shmuel Ash, a biblical scholar, is adrift in his young life when he finds work as a caregiver for a brilliant but cantankerous old man named Gershom Wald. There is, however, a third, mysterious presence in his new home. Atalia Abravanel, the daughter of a deceased Zionist leader, a beautiful woman in her 40s, entrances young Shmuel even as she keeps him at a distance. Piece by piece, the old Jerusalem stone house, haunted by tragic history and now home to the three misfits and their intricate relationship, reveals its secrets.

A Very Different View of Israel
Revisado: 11-20-23
At a time when war between Israel and the Arab states could lead to WWIII, this book reminds us of the alternative. Mellifluous, poetic, extremely thought-provoking. Reading and writing is my life, and five stars doesn’t tell you that this is my favorite novel of the last several years.

The Trail is a moving story of how nature helps us find what’s missing in our lives. The tale begins with Gil, who in the wake of his father’s death and recently fired from his job, agrees to accompany his father’s old hiking partner Syd on a month-long trek on the John Muir Trail. There’s just one problem: Gil hates camping and is woefully unprepared for the rigors of the journey. Moreover, he soon learns Syd may not survive the hike.

Best book on hiking the High Sierra an John Muir Trail, AND a spiritual classic
Revisado: 04-05-22
This wonderful novel with a true-story feeling conveys both the nitty-gritty and ecstatic reality of long backpacks in the High Sierra of California, from the all-out highs to the difficult lows.
It’s also a well-told story about life and death, love and friendship, and living in the present — about how the life of spirit is supported by taking time to live close to nature, beyond cell-phone range with only what you can carry on your back.
The High Sierra has been my place of retreat for inner solace for a lifetime. I started backpacking the Sierra in the early 60’s, though I first fell I love with it on family camping trips in the late 50’s. This story is set in recent times.
The book’s spiritual inspiration comes from John Muir’s life and an appreciation of Taoism, about which the story is deep and accurate.
It also contains the the story of the many who cared and care enough to make the Sierra an approachable yet still pristine wilderness with access roads to trailheads, excellent trails, and ecological management.
Not to be missed for lovers of the beyond-the-end-of-the-road High Sierra, and for those who would like to get an accurate feeling for what they can expect if they venture into “The Range of Light” themselves.
