Book Overview

by Esther David (Author)

Alive with the scents and smells of India, this novel traces the rigid, circumscribed lives of three generations of women in an extended Jewish family in the walled city of Ahmedabad. It is a brutally honest story of Indian Jews under siege in a society unlike any other where Jews have made a home.
