Gold offers sensuous descriptions of the Jewish homeland ... * Quill & Quire * Fields of Exile is a novel that tackles some difficult questions. What exactly is terrorism? Does Israel have the right to defend itself against suicide bombers? Are those who attack Israel's responses to terrorism anti-Semites? What can be done to properly and fairly state Israel's case on Canadian campuses? Even so, the novel is not political in nature. This gripping work of fiction is also the very touching story of a young woman faced with the challenges of life, both on campus and at home. * TimesofIsrael.com * The author of a previous well-received collection of stories titled Marrow, Gold is a highly competent writer and reportedly the first to focus on the shocking anti-Israel climate now prevalent on many Canadian and American campuses. * Canadian Jewish News * ...the great strength of this novel is Nora Gold's spot on portrayal of the shock of encountering antisemitism, the dizzying dismay of finding that howling hateful horde even here in Canada. * Jewish Tribune * Given the climate of anti-Israel hatred, this book is an excellent choice for book discussion clubs and interfaith and inter-political dialogue. * The Association of Jewish Libraries *
