Summary
Summary
The Blue Mountain, a best-seller in Israel, recounts the story of four young Russian pioneers who immigrated to Israel before WWI. Baruch, the novel's narrator, tells the tales of three generations of villagers: enigmatic, crotchety, larger-than-life, and always memorable. Shalev's narrative is rich in history; its language hypnotic and enervating.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Shalev’s colorful, feisty characters and vibrant prose animate this indelible depiction of the birth of a nation.” —Publishers Weekly
“Evocative, even lyrical, with the underlying magic realism adding to the mythic stature of the villagers and their accomplishments.” —Kirkus Reviews
