But then Marjorie discovers their late grandfather Eli's notebook and its tale about a wizard named the White Rebbe and his struggle against the Angel of Losses, protector of the lost letter of the alphabet, which completes the secret name of God. When Holly announces she's expecting her first child, Marjorie fears that she's lost her sister forever. But as they unravel the mystery of the missing orphans, they uncover a trail leading to the upper echelons of society and a ruthless and clever criminal adept at pulling strings who, becoming aware of them and their efforts, is only too ready to destroy all they hold dear, including their newfound understanding of the intrigues of the human heart.ĭieser Download kann aus rechtlichen Gründen nur mit Rechnungsadresse in A, B, BG, CY, CZ, D, DK, EW, E, FIN, F, GR, HR, H, IRL, I, LT, L, LR, M, NL, PL, P, R, S, SLO, SK ausgeliefert werden.Now in paperback, the inventive, lushly imagined debut novel-reminiscent of The Tiger's Wife and The History of Love-that explores the intersections of family secrets, Jewish myths, the legacy of war and history, and the bonds between sisters Sisters Marjorie and Holly are best friends-until Holly converts to a mysterious Jewish sect and marries a controlling man Marjorie despises.
