Promised Land Martin Fletcher

From author Martin Fletcher comes Promised Land, an epic family saga that crosses the globe The tumultuous early years of the young Jewish state are brought to vivid life through the eyes of two German Jewish brothers. Arie survived the Holocaust in Europe. Peter, one year older, was sent to America before the war began. They find each other again in Israel, learning everyone else in their family has been murdered. Peter becomes a top Mossad agent, deeply involved in many of the key spy adventures of the era. Arie becomes a scheming businessman, among the richest men in Israel: one brother is building the state, the other protecting it. But they have fallen in love with the same woman, a Jewish refugee from Egypt. The brothers jealousies and intrigues are mirrored by the young nation's very own struggles to survive. Praise for Promised Land: ""Promised Land is a great sweeping epic...a moving story of triumph and tragedy, new love and historic hate, expertly told by a cast of unforgettable characters. Fletcher's writing is superb and rises to the level of importance that this story demands and deserves."" — Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Cuban Affair ""What a story [Fletcher] has chosen to tell, the coming into being of Israel, set against a family saga in the style of the great European novels. Promised Land is a novel that has much to teach your head and even more, your heart."" —Joseph Telushkin, New York Times bestselling author of Rebbe, Jewish Literacy, and Words that Hurt, Words that Heal “[An] epic family saga, set against the rich tapestry of the creation of the State of Israel. Masterful in scope, yet intimate in lens, Promised Land is a rich tribute to the human spirit and a triumphant chronicle of one of the important events in modern history.†—Pam Jenoff, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Orphans Tale
