Book launch for 'Rachel Sarai's Vineyard' by Deborah Rey

Friday 12th March, 7pm

A small child grows up in wartime Holland and acts as a courier for the resistance whilst trying to come to terms with another war within her own family. "Although this is not primarily a Holocaust novel, you could if you wished see Rachel Sarai's story as an allegory not just of the Holocaust but of all the attempts throughout the centuries to destroy Judaism and rob the Jewish people of their roots….after this immensely harrowing journey the novel manages to end on a life-affirming and redemptive note." David Gardiner.
