Description

<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, &quot;Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None&quot;. Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

Story Behind The Book

In the midst of the Covid-19 closure, I had plenty of time to go through the photos and documents of my family. I found my grandfather's soldier certificate and the date of his enlistment. While browsing online, I came across a group of relatives of the Israeli POW from WW2. I discovered the name of the unit in which my grandfather served (Port Operation Unit 1039). Interestingly enough, his captain kept a war diary until his capture. Through the stories and the date in the diary, I was able to trace the route that my grandfather took until his capture. All I had left to do, was to dive into the depths of the research and the stories of the prisoners in order to develop the plot of the book. For me it was definitely a real once in a lifetime experience.

Such a good book with great characters that keeps you obsessed with every page since the first one. The ending of this book.. come on! I just didn´t expect it! Can´t wait to read other books from this great writer! Amazing job! a must-read! A fantastic book that has it all! I happily endorse this history to any and all who are looking for a Jewish History enjoyable read and a completely different experience than anyone could imagine on their own. ¡Great book! Terrific Read!</p> <p>5 Stars</p> <p>I have chance to read numerous books and articles about Jewish history but by far this book by Isaac &quot; The Long Way Home from Crete &quot; appears to be the best book , it's captivating, emotional and very inspiring I will certainly recommend it for all readers</p> <p> </p> <p>5 Stars</p> <p> </p> <p> Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop!<br /> Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2021<br /> Verified Purchase<br /> This book beautifully demonstrates the will to survive in the most dire situations. I was so excited to read this, the story of a comfortable life being thrown into turmoil prior to WW2 really hit close to home, and echoed the experience of my family. The way the book also focuses on the wife, and son, is a refreshing point of view, and depicts the equally difficult battles families had to endure, while their patriarch was out fighting the literal ones. Can’t recommend this book enough.</p> <p>5 stars</p> <div class="a-row" style="width:1040px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;"><a class="a-size-base a-link-normal review-title a-color-base review-title-content a-text-bold" href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/customer-reviews/R2S7T4R5UXZXFN/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B08YDP9Y4F" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-weight:700;line-height:19px;"> <span>A Fantastic Read</span></a></div> <p><span class="a-size-base a-color-secondary review-date" style="font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;color:rgb(86,89,89);">Reviewed in Canada on March 15, 2021</span></p> <div class="a-row a-spacing-mini review-data review-format-strip" style="width:1040px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;margin-bottom:4px;"><span class="a-declarative"><a class="a-link-normal" href="https://www.amazon.ca/Long-Way-Home-Crete/product-reviews/B08YDP9Y4F/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rvw_rvwer?ie=UTF8&amp;reviewerType=avp_only_reviews" style="color:rgb(0,102,192);"><span class="a-size-mini a-color-state a-text-bold" style="font-weight:700;font-size:11px;line-height:1.465;color:rgb(196,85,0);">Verified Purchase</span></a></span></div> <div class="a-row a-spacing-small review-data" style="width:1040px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;margin-bottom:8px;"><span class="a-size-base review-text review-text-content" style="line-height:19px;">Incredible Book!
