Book synopsis

Tormented by his feeling of isolation, young British aristocrat David Bennett arrives in Jerusalem in 1967. His cousin Jonathan introduces him to his mentor, the chief rabbi of Jerusalem who presides over the orthodox community. Despite his resistance to engaging with "Reb Eli," David becomes captivated by the rebbe's charm and wisdom. When David discloses a sexual problem that he believes is ruining his life, Reb Eli arranges for him to visit a bordello run by Madame Aziza, a Jewess from Egypt with vast knowledge of what arouses the senses. Tamar, an enchanting and mysterious prostitute whom Madame Aziza introduces to David, creates shock waves through David's life and many others, in a reprise of an ancient biblical story. As passions rise, so does the Six Day War, one that alters the whole of the Middle East and the lives of everyone caught up in it.
