The story of Vigdis Adelaïs Gudbrandr, a Christian who falls in love David Todrosset, a rabbi‘s son. Set at the end of the 11th Century their search for safe haven is mythic. Really, this is the story of Sarah (Hamoutal). Based on fragments from a repository found in Cairo, the author invents her story, interspersed with an account author‘s trek to follow their journey.
The end is heartbreaking. A powerful, beautiful novel. In translation.
