Another Time/ Another Land: A Fictional Memoir
Ensign S. Paul Miner, a Jewish naval offi cer, handles court-martial cases at the U.S. base in Morocco during his two-year assignment there. His legal ability is sharply tested when he defends an Offi cer accused of a homosexual assault against an infl uential Arab aide to the monarchy who is visiting the base to decide if the Navy will get a ten-year extension of its lease. Prior to his involvement in the trial, Miner, whose hidden fi rst name is “Saul,” comes across Sephardic Jews whose ancestors dwelled in Morocco for most of the last 2,000 years. In the face of their helping restore his Jewish identity and pride, he nonetheless meets and falls in love with a married, Russian Orthodox woman of the aristocratic class whose family fl ed St. Petersburg in 1917 and ultimately settled in Tangier to make a new life for themselves.
