| Valerie Farber has penned a work that is astounding from a scholarly viewpoint and literarily beautiful. City of Refuge transports readers to an ancient and breathtakingly authentic world. Farber’s novel is a compelling read, effortlessly drawing in the casual reader as well as the Bible student. It allows the reader to participate emotionally, with that generation of Hebrew people wrestling to embrace the Torah as divinely given law. Magnificent is not too strong a word to describe this wonderfully written volume that inspires and teaches as it amazes." |
"City of Refuge is a wondrous journey into the Biblical past with historical depth, substance, and style. Not since Michener's “The Source” have I been so transported to another time and place and so engrossed in the drama of others. The accurate treatment of ancient life and culture reveals a deep insight into the drama of the human condition and the timelessness of human behavior. Farber has crafted a composition which is worthy of scholars but can be relished by all." |
