This compelling and colorful historical novel captures mid-twentieth century Egypt and Israel in marvelous detail. The novel tells the tragic events of the “Second Exodus” – the uprooting of the Jewish community from Egypt in 1948.

It brings to light an aspect of the Arab-Israeli conflict that has never been revealed before: the forced emigration of Jews from Arab countries, in mid twentieth century, aptly coined by Ada Aharoni – The Second Exodus.

Inbar is the beautiful daughter of a rich judge and a member of Cairo’s Jewish community. When a historical storm threatens to destroy her future and that of her lover, a Holocaust survivor named Raoul, she sets out to Israel to find him, in a passionate quest for love and fulfillment.

Ada Aharoni weaves an astonishing and authentic historical period into a dramatic love story, written in powerful and moving prose.
