Well written and researched, this spy thriller moves from Rome to Jerusalem to Paris & beyond. I quite liked Gabriel Allon although he seems a little too perfect (but maybe that‘s the point). I liked the intricate details of art & the spy world. But at times it felt bogged down in descriptions of process that I didn‘t need. Precise & comprehensive, it‘s richer than many spy thrillers. Kind of like an art history textbook in fictional form.

This is an ambitious and informative work. While it does have its own politics, the author has achieved the book‘s stated goal.

Amos Oz is a great writer indeed! And this novel about the birth of Christianity and the foundation of the State of Israel more actual than ever.

Loved this book, one of the best in the series for me and read it in 24 hours as couldn‘t put it down. Also feels quite a watershed in the series at the end so interested to see where this is taken in the next book.

Shoshi's Shabbat | Caryn Yacowitz

The title is a bit of a tongue twister, but the story is really good. It has just the right amount of repetition to drive the narrative and pin the ritual (featured in the title). I didn't get the feeling that the story was a fable or true, so it was a surprise to learn that it is both. The MC: the ox was not named, but an ox did once teach a man a lesson about Shabbat. And that man was Rabbi Yohanan ben Torta. The author named this ox Shoshi
