Paperback. Zustand: Very Good.

At the center of The Nature of Blood is a young woman, a Nazi death camp survivor, devastated by the loss of everyone she loves. Her story is interwoven with a cast of characters from both the present and past: her uncle Stephan, Othello the Moorish general, three Jews in 15th century Venice, and an Ethiopian Jew struggling for acceptance in contemporary Israel.

Paperback in black and deep red/decorated cardboard sleeve, 212 pages. A German Jewish girl whose life and death are shaped by the atrocities of World War II… her uncle, who undermines the sureties of his own life in order to fight for Israeli statehood.the Jews of the sixteenth century Venetian ghetto, trapped both literally and figuratively by rabid prejudice.Othello, newly arrived in Venice.a young Ethiopian Jewish woman resettled in Israel: these are the people whose stories fill The Nature of Blood and who, despite their clear differences, share the weight of memory as burden and sustenance.
