Description
Next Year in Jerusalem is the exciting debut novel from a new force in the world of historical fiction. Follow the fortunes of Roman Tribune Marcus Flavius Gallus, as he struggles with his capacity for mercy versus his duty to Rome and the Emperor Hadrian. Will Esther, a Jew from the Judean village of Gophna, give up her culture and her faith for the love of a man who is the enemy of her people? And what role will Rabbi Schlomo bar Mordechai, with his wisdom and gentle ways, play in bringing an end to the Jewish rebellion? The characters bring forth tears and laughter, and definitely intone what is best and worst in the human condition. In this historic time of struggle, perseverance, and triumph of the human spirit, many obstacles must be overcome for the lovers to be together. This heart-wrenching tale of love, faith, and the clash of two cultures in a time of oppression is set during the second rebellion against the Romans. First-time author Chris J Wilkinson lives in New Zealand on a farm in the Bay of Plenty. He is father of four and the grandfather of seven. This is the first book in a trilogy. The second book is titled The Widow of Alexandria, and the third book is Pax Romanus. "I have been motivated by my love of history and archaeology, especially during the Greco-Roman period, where so much of our modern culture has come from."
