A meleke stone from the ancient plains of the Dead Sea is passed down by generations of females through four thousand years.

In 2019 Sami, the son of Egyptian immigrants in Toulouse, is traumatized by the family’s hardships in France and plots revenge.

Menes, Sami’s father from Cairo, had emigrated to France in search of peace. An unlikely friendship forms with Holocaust-survivor Moshe, each recognizing their past struggles.

Suddenly, a terrorist bomb explodes in a Toulouse synagogue. Moshe asks his son Simon to produce a film showing the true history of his people from the time of Sodom and Gomorrah.

What will happen to Moshe’s and Menes’ special relationship when an intrepid French detective’s efforts to find the terrorist reveal the horrifying truth?

In a soul-searching conclusion in Jerusalem, having no female descendant to whom to give the meleke stone, there’s only one thing that Simon can do to maintain the survival of his people for all eternity.

…..are you ready for the four thousand year journey of the meleke stone?”

Historical Fiction is not generally a genre I read, but every now and then I step outside my reading comfort zone. I am pleased that I made that step out to read this title. I was so intrigued reading this story. After reading this story I found myself doing some research on Sodom and Gomorrah in all honesty I found myself looking into a few different aspects found in this title. The book was well written and it seems Olga Swan did lots of research while writing this title. So if you want to step back into the past you should give this title a read.

For many years Olga lived in France, where she wrote her best-selling Pensioners in Paradis and Vichyssoise. B.A. Hons. (Open) in the Humanities, specializing in English language and literature.

Mostly Dark Romance but I do love a variety genres from Contemporary - Paranormal, whether it is Adult or New Adult and SOME YA (extremely picky on YA titles) and all of its sub genre, but I do read a variety of things some of which will be Erotic/Erotica and all of it's sub genres (one of my new found loves). So please beware that not all the reviews on my blog will be suitable for younger eyes!! Some of the most recent I like to read is Steampunk and Dystopian. Sci-Fi is NOT One of My Preferred Genres So I will be extremely picky with this genre.
