A No. 1 international bestseller, The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem is
a dazzling novel of mothers and daughters, stories told and untold,
and the ties that bind four generations of women. Gabriela's mother
Luna is the most beautiful woman in all of Jerusalem, though her
famed beauty and charm seem to be reserved for everyone but her
daughter. Ever since Gabriela can remember, she and Luna have
struggled to connect. But when tragedy strikes, Gabriela senses
there's more to her mother than painted nails and lips. Desperate
to understand their relationship, Gabriela pieces together the
stories of her family's previous generations - from
Great-Grandmother Mercada the renowned healer, to Grandma Rosa who
cleaned houses for the English, to Luna who had the nicest legs in
Jerusalem. But Gabriela must face a past and present far more
complex than she ever imagined. Spanning decades, The Beauty Queen
of Jerusalem follows generations of unforgettable women as they
forge their own paths through times of dramatic change, and paints
a dazzling portrait of a family and a young nation as they struggle
to find their way even as others try to carve it out for them.
