The city on a hill, after which Eden Lerner's novel is named and in which its main events take place, is Hebron. One of the oldest cities on earth. The city in which the graves of the forefathers of the Jewish people are located. And the shrines of a people who trace their origins to Abraham’s firstborn, Ishmael. A city that has become a symbol of confrontation, a city of blood and hatred. But also a city of eternal beauty, in which Jews and Arabs, Jews and Muslims have lived and lived together for hundreds of years. Peacefully, until, by someone’s evil will, supported by political, economic and other motives, blood flows again... But irreconcilable conflicts arise among fellow tribesmen. Religious and secular, Hasidim and reformists, right and left... As they say, two Jews are three parties. But these “parties” separate families, the closest people become enemies... In this city, the heroes of the book, our contemporaries, live, love, fight. The novel is written vividly, its plot moves are fascinating. His characters are recognizable.
