Zion (Jerusalem Book 2)

“You can sleep with the enemy. <br />Just don’t fall in love with him.”<br /><br />1946: Marie Helder has fled war-ravaged Europe, and come to Jerusalem looking for peace and a place to heal. The man she once loved, before the war, has died in one of Hitler’s concentration camps.<br /><br />Or so she thinks.<br /><br />But Palestine is not sanctuary. She has fled one holocaust, into the cauldron of another.<br />As Palestine descends into violence, some still reach out for love; Rishou Hass’an still carries on his affair with a Jewish Haganah agent he met long ago labouring on her father’s kibbutz. <br />What will they all choose when the war comes?<br /><br />High on the Hill of Evil Counsel in Jerusalem, one British official holds the key to the future of Palestine. If he cannot be bought then he must be persuaded. <br /><br />As two nations wrestle with their shared past, Marie and Sarah are torn apart by love and loyalty. <br />Should they follow their hearts, or do they follow their flag, even if it means killing the people they love the most? <br /><br /> From the holocaust to the bloody creation of the state of Israel in 1948, romance and terror collide in a novel of ancient hatreds and forbidden loves. <br />
