From the Nile to the Jordan: Second Enlarged Edition - January 2017 by Ada Aharoni

I recently had the opportunity to finish reading From the Nile to Jordan. This is once again not my typical read but I did really enjoy the book. It was one of those you just felt like you didn't want to put it down once you started.

The author does a wonderful job at helping the reader to see the world through the characters eyes. I think it is a good historical book, and does a wonderful job at telling the story of the Second Exodus of the Jewish community from Egypt. There is war, conflict, tragedy and love through out the book.

I don't like to give away to much of the story; however, I will include an exert from Amazon. "An astonishing historical period relived through a dramatic love story From the Nile to the Jordan is a compelling and colorful historical novel that 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 following the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948. By so doing, it brings an aspect of the Arab-Israeli Conflict that has not been touched upon: the forced emigration of Jews from Arab countries, aptly coined by Ada Aharoni – THE SECOND EXODUS. A story never told before Inbar is the beautiful daughter of a rich judge, member of Cairo’s Jewish community. When an historical storm threatens to destroy her future and that of her lover, a Holocaust survivor named Raoul, she sets out to Israel, in a passionate quest for love and fulfillment. Based on true historical facts Ada Aharoni weaves an astonishing and authentic historical period into a dramatic love story, written in powerful and moving prose. The result is an important and unique novel, based on historical facts, which creates an exciting, delightful and unforgettable feast for the readers, for history, and for world literature."
