What People are Saying About This

Eve Harow

It was tough to tear my eyes away from The Gilboa Iris.... While the main character is not family(!) I did relate to her story and its incorporation of the very real tensions, terrorism fears and other issues that so many of us in the Western world must deal with today. A fast-paced, exciting read that has you praying for a happy ending. (Eve Harow, Israel National Radio Show host)

Yocheved Miriam Russo

Hard to believe The Gilboa Iris is Zahava Englard's first novel - it sizzles, oozing passion of all kinds. Great plot, fascinating characters and, best of all, it's brimming with local lore. Don't miss this one! (Yocheved Miriam Russo, Freelance journalist, Israel)

Ruthie Blum

This moving story of love, death, rebirth and survival...a great read. (Ruthie Blum, American-Israeli author and social critic)
