Summary: Wonderful light romance/thriller
Review: This is a great read, if you are looking for a romance/thriller book. I characterize it as light, because it does not bog you down with heavy espionage capers or explicit and frequent sex scenes. The subject material for the book is interesting and well thought out. Ms. Peters touches on many different and, in some cases, volatile issues. The charm of her work is that she does not so much MAKE the reader think about the issues as much as she puts them out for the reader to explore, or not, as they choose. Issues such as: relationships between generations, traditional enemies, individuals from different walks of life, and religious dogma and tradition are all to be found in this novel. For the casual reader, the issues are can be overlooked or ignored, for the most part. The thinking reader will be intrigued and will continue to analyse the attitudes displayed in the novel.
As always, Ms. Peters writing ability is unquestioned. She has done her research regarding the Holy Land in the late 1960's, and brings the image vividly to mind for the reader. She manages to capture the humanity in her characters, which makes her work a joy to read, and the characters live.
