The dramatic final book in the epic historical trilogy about
the lives and loves of the three daughters of the great Talmud
scholar Rashi Rachel is the youngest and most beautiful daughter of
medieval Jewish scholar Salomon ben Isaac, or "Rashi." Her father's
favorite and adored by her new husband, Eliezer, Rachel's life
looks to be one of peaceful scholarship, laughter, and love. But
events beyond her control will soon threaten everything she holds
dear. Marauders of the First Crusade massacre nearly the entire
Jewish population of Germany, and her beloved father suffers a
stroke. Eliezer wants their family to move to the safety of Spain,
but Rachel is determined to stay in France and help her family save
the Troyes yeshiva, the only remnant of the great centers of Jewish
learning in Europe. As she did so effectively in "Joheved" and
"Miriam," Maggie Anton vividly brings to life the world of
eleventh-century France and a remarkable Jewish woman of dignity,
passion, and strength.
