"Fasinating stories about Jews in what seems like the most unlikely places, and about groups that hardly have a memory of how they became Jewish. The religious life itself (ie in China some years back) was often a blend of beliefs, traditions, practices."

"In a small town in the Australian outback a small child disappears. Then a teen from the same town is found dead in Sydney-an apparent suicide. As an investigating detective looks into these events, long hidden feuds and secrets begin to reveal themselves.
The author's first book, Swimming In Silk, won a prestigious Australian literary prize. Angel Rock is as well written and is both menacing and mesmerizing."
