Beauty Queen of Jerusalem

Luna, Gabriela Seaton's mother, is the first beauty of Jerusalem, but her striking beauty is not a guarantee of happiness. The marriage turned out to be a disaster, her daughter never felt a mother's love, and Luna's relationship with her mother was also completely devoid of warmth. As a child, Gabriela hears from her grandmother that there is a curse over the women of the Er-moza family: the men who marry them will not love them. After her mother's death, Gabriela is overcome with despair and emptiness. It is important for her to piece together the stories of four generations where the same mistakes are made, to uncover the secrets and lies of the past in order to unlock the vicious circle of dislike and learn to love and forgive. This impressive family saga - a vivid picture of the customs and mores of the Sephardic community - unfolds against the backdrop of dramatic events that so richly inform twentieth-century Israeli history. Sarit Yishai-Levi's debut novel became a bestseller not only in Israel, it has been translated into many languages and a popular TV series has been produced in her home country.
