There are moments in life when the only way to escape is to die or kill. At the end of the 19th century, at the last stage of tsarism in Russia, the Zucker family, persecuted for their Jewish faith, had to flee the country, from nightmare and injustice. Arriving in the Promised Land, Samuel Zucker acquires land from the Arab Ziyad family, led by Ahmed. A close connection arises between him and Samuel, a strong friendship, which, despite political and religious differences, remains generation after generation. Against the backdrop of threats, revenge and many other passions, the lives of the Zuckers and Ziyads are intertwined in a mosaic of betrayal and suffering, love possible and impossible, a coexistence full of amazing events in the territory of intolerance. A poignant and touching chronicle, two family sagas - the new novel by Julia Navarro immerses us in the lives of real people who are struggling to fulfill their dreams, who themselves are responsible for the chosen path.
