Trade Review
"Ioannides brings to life the ambiance and customs of the exotic multilingual Romaniote [congregation] as it copes with the influx of Ashkenazic, Provencal, Venetian and Sephardic Jews . . . well-crafted and intricately plotted."—Hadassah Magazine
"The plot is fast-paced and rich in detail . . . . Avid readers of historical fiction are the most likely audience for [this] story. The reward is a fascinating glimpse into a little-explored part of the Jewish historical experience."—Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
