Description
Daughters of Jerusalem is a saga of three generations of extraordinary Jewish women. Lili Ventura immigrates to the Holy Land in 1903 to fulfill a promise to God, and reinvents herself as a midwife, serving not only the Jews of the Walled City but also Muslims and Christians. Her daughter, Mercada, and granddaughter, Alegra, will fight their own battles against colonialism, the Jewish class system, and rising tensions between Jews and Arabs as they continue on Lilis path toward modernity and independence, aspiring to a future without walls, in the City of Peace. In Daughters of Jerusalem Galya Gerstman establishes herself as one of our master storytellers.
