In England during the 12th Century, Jewish people were under the protection of King Henry, who understood the critical role they could play in building a prosperous economy in England. With Henry's death, and the succession of King Richard, the tenuous balance shifted and Jews throughout England were mercilessly slaughtered. Greenberg's book focuses on the city of York, and a handful of the people living there, including prominent members of the Jewish community as well as Christian friends, acquaintences--and enemies. Greenberg writes with a stately restraint which builds a structure of patient detail to explain the events leading up to the destruction of England's Jewish community. Caught up in the narrative, it's difficult for the reader not to wish to hurry things along. The conclusion of this novel, however, is far more than a story. It is a heart-rending account of man's capacity for cruelty and bestiality, as well as his potential for nobility and heroism. Highly recommended. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
