Summary
From one of Israel's most important and acclaimed contemporary writers
Description
Set in a small rural village prior to the creation of the state of Israel, The Blue Mountain describes a community of eastern European immigrants as they pioneer life in a new land. Narrated by Baruch, a grandson of one of the founding fathers of the village, the novel offers not only a fascinating account of the hardships experienced by the Jewish pioneers, but is also extremely funny and imaginative. Shalev transcends time and place by touching on the issues of universal relevance while never failing to entertain and engage the reader.
