Description
In British-occupied Palestine after World War I, Mark Bloomberg, a beleaguered London painter, and Joyce, his American wife, witness the murder of a prominent Orthodox Jew. Joyce, a non-Jew and ardent Zionist, is drawn into an affair with the British investigating officer, while Mark seeks solace in the exotic colors and contours of the Middle Eastern landscape. Each of the three has come to Palestine to escape grief, and yet--caught in the crosshairs of history--they will all be forced to show more confront the very issues they hoped to leave behind in this swift and sensuous novel of artful concealment and roiling passions. show lessTags

This book starts off interesting but fails to go anywhere. Just an okay read about an artist and his wife who move to Jerusalem and she is involved in helping the Zionist movement bring guns into Israel. Really the plot is fairly boring.
