Barry Elad asked me to post a press release about a new Israeli Novel, THE SONG OF HANNA, that will hopefully make it on to the North American best sellers scene. I found Eva Etzioni Halevy’s personality interesting. So here it is - now available at Amazon.
Whether you’re flying, taking a cruise, or out by the pool, THE SONG OF HANNAH — a sensual and gripping story of love, jealousy, revenge and redemption — is sure to be a page turner.
The book, by Eva Etzioni-Halevy and published by Plume (a Division of Penguin), has recently hit U.S. bookshelves.
Its intriguing plot follows the lives of Hannah and Pninah. They are the two wives of Elkanah. Once close childhood friends, they are now rivals, as they compete for the attention of their husband. Despite their differences, the two women must learn to live together, protecting their own interests as well as each other’s, while sharing not only the love of their husband, but that of Hannah’s son Samuel, who is destined to become one of the first great prophets of the Jewish people.
“THE SONG OF HANNAH is full of suspense and twists,” says Etzioni-Halevy. “Many people who have already read it told me it was a true “page turner”, and they could not put it down until three o’clock in the morning”. “There are some messages in the book, but they are “tucked away” so that they don’t spoil the reading pleasure. Precisely the sort of book one would like to read on the beach”.
A child holocaust survivor, Etzioni-Halevy is currently professor emeritus of political sociology at Bar Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel. She has written many books in political sociology, but THE SONG OF HANNAH is her first parley into the world of Novels. A second novel “THE GARDEN OF RUTH” is slated for a January 2007 release.
