Out of ancient Jewish sources comes a novel of love and
self-discovery in the heart of the ancient Parthian empire. The
year is 259 A.D. and the three daughters of Rabbi Samuel, the
greatest Jewish scholar of his day, are taken captive during the
fall of Nehardea, a thriving merchant-city on the Euphrates River.
Two of the daughters quickly return from captivity and are restored
to their family; the third daughter, Rachel, vanishes - only to
reappear as the wife of a convert to Judaism and the mother of a
noted rabbi. On the basis of these briefest of references from the
Babylonian Talmud, first-time novelist and Hebraic scholar Ann
Brener creates the portrait of a young woman caught between the
demands of two cultures, and a moving love story that crosses the
boundaries of lands and religions.
