Avignon: A Historical Novel

"Avignon in 1346 is thriving. Pope Clement VI, removed from Rome, presides over a city notable for its harmony, its tolerance and its wealth. At a time when anti-Semitic feelings are running high in Europe, Clement offers protection to the Jews. This book follows the fortunes of a family from the city's Jewish ghetto - Blanchette, a beautiful, headstrong girl; her brilliant brother-in-law, Thoros; her gossipy, meddling mother, Lea.

Avignon is a powerful testament to an extraordinary time in European history - and an unforgettable tale of love across the barricades.
