A wonderful family saga.
This is yet another book which I have read in just a few hours, but it wasn't due to simple content or easy language. It was just so magical and facinating. Exactly the kind of books I like.
It is not a fantasy book, but it has an element of fantasy which goes through it in a way which reminds me of 'one hundred years of solitude'.
This book was aritten by an Israeli author, and although it tells the story of an Israeli family, and of Jerusalem throughout four generations, it has the feel of an English book which has been translated into Hebrew.

Could have been told in a more interesting fashion, instead of along the time line of when it happened. Lyrical, but not so well written, and did not hold my attention.
Het verhaal van de joodse Rosa loopt van 1940 tot in de negentiger jaren. Familiesaga
