Trade Review
“A ‘migrant gleaner’ in her own right, Pardes moves easily from one cultural landscape to another and harvests insight wherever she goes. Her readings of Ruth’s reimaginings are consistently excellent.”—Steven Weitzman, author of The Origin of the Jews

“A virtuoso exploration of the Book of Ruth as an admirable touchstone in the realms of literature, art, and human values. Ilana Pardes foregrounds the timeless emergency of migrants and refugees with compassion and depth.”—Galit Hasan-Rokem, author of Web of Life
