Eve's Garden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595410637)

Eve's Garden evokes a unique time in Israel's history when the 1982 incursion into Lebanon drew the country into a complex process of redefining itself. At this critical moment Diana Weiss, an American of mixed Jewish-Christian heritage, arrives to spend a year on a kibbutz. She experiences conflicting passions, betrayal, loyalty, and love that reflect the nation's turmoil. "Orden's gift, and what sets this book apart, is her ability to draw the reader into the story through her rich characters. As I was reading, I felt I was there-riding through the dunes on horseback, eating Shabbat dinner in the communal dining room, mourning the loss of a friend. Eve's Garden is an intense, mesmerizing novel which I recommend to anyone seeking insight into life in Israel and understanding of the human heart." -Rabbi Daniel Judson, Author of The Rituals and Practices of a Jewish Life and The Jewish Pregnancy Book
