OverviewMartin Fletcher's Promised Land is the sweeping saga of two brothers and the woman they love, a devastating love triangle set against the tumultuous founding of Israel. The story begins when fourteen-year-old Peter is sent west to America to escape the growing horror of Nazi Germany. But his younger brother Arie and their entire family are sent east to the death camps. Only Arie survives. The brothers reunite in the nascent Jewish state, where Arie becomes a businessman and one of the richest men in Israel while Peter becomes a top Mossad agent heading some of Israel's most vital espionage operations. One brother builds Israel, the other protects it. But they also fall in love with the same woman, Tamara, a lonely Jewish refugee from Cairo. And over the next two decades, as their new homeland faces extraordinary obstacles that could destroy it, the brothers' intrigues and jealousies threaten to tear their new lives apart. Promised Land is at once the gripping tale of a struggling family and an epic about a struggling nation. 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 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 Orphan's Tale Full Product DetailsAuthor: Martin Fletcher , Aaron AbanoPublisher: MacMillan Audio Imprint: MacMillan Audio Dimensions: Width: 13.20cm , Height: 2.50cm , Length: 15.00cm Weight: 0.299kg ISBN: 9781250299079ISBN 10: 1250299071 Publication Date: 11 September 2018 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Audio Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable  The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
