I recently read a book that came out less than a year ago, called Journey to the End of the Earth, by Devora Rand, distributed by Feldheim. Two of my children read it too, and enjoyed it very much. It is an enagaging and suspensful historical novel, set in the 1600s, which depicts the trials and tribulations of the wandering Jew, unwanted and persecuted by other nations. The readers meet Jews who are forced to flee from various parts of the world: Poland, Spain, Portugal, and even South America. The plot follows Rabbi Menashe ben Israel and his son Shmuel, who try to convince the British government to allow the Jews back in, after they were exiled and banned from England in the 1200s. The book is very well researched and informative, and would be of great help to those studying Jewish history in the 1600s. The reading level is middle grades and higher.
