From AudioFile
Rachel Lubetkin has survived the Nazi death camps to join her brother, grandfather, and friends in Jerusalem, in hopes of setting up a new Jewish State. But one of her German captors has recognized her. Suzanne Toren imparts the same thick Yiddish-Middle-Eastern accent to all the Jewish people in the story, regardless of national origin. Her narrative sections breathe life into the predictable plot, especially the passages dealing with the thoughts of the family dog carrying messages to and from the restricted quarter. While Thoene's plot believably brings Jewish and Christian friends together in a struggle for peace, her conversion of the Jews at story's end screams contrivance. Toren's performance tries for credibility in this part, but falls forgivably short.

Book Description
The nation was gripped in a life-and-death struggle for survival. No less momentous was Rachel's own personal struggle-The Gates of Zion vividly portrayed both the indomitable courage and hope of the Jewish people streaming into Israel after the Holocaust as well as their intense battle to protect their new homeland. The sequel, A Daughter of Zion, centers around a returning Jewess named Rachel who survived the Nazi desolation, but only at a great personal cost. Smuggled into the besieged Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, she discovers members of her long-lost family. Rachel decides she cannot leave the Old City or the people who stand as one thin line between its survival.When secrets of her past are uncovered, she is discredited before the very people she wants so desperately to help. Alienated from her own people and left in despair, she is not aware of the enemy forces which threaten her very life.A sweeping historical novel of a young nation struggling to keep its mandate and a young woman struggling for her life. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: A Daughter of Zion (Five Star Standard Print Christian Fiction Series) (Hardcover) Never have I come across a better author. Bodie Theone (tay-nee) is truly amazing. These books are full of drama. It's like the characters became my friends. When I finished the series, It felt as though I lost some good friends. I really don't know if I could be as entertained, enlightened and fulfilled by reading anything else after reading this series. Originally I was checking the series out one at a time from the library. But when I realized I'd finally found something I couldn't put down, I figured I better buy the whole series. I have never bought books before, because I've never found anything worthy of being read more than once. I was just so compelled and I want to share her writings with all my friends and family. She's spectacular. So is anything written by her husband Brock, who helps her co-write everything. It's almost like watching a movie, because there are so many plots intertwined. I was shocked to read the epilogue in RETURN TO ZION. You'll have to find out for yourself. Just don't start reading in the middle of the series. If I could never read another authors works but one it would be the Theone's. - Megan Villa Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
