There are two stories in this book that finally interact.
In 1932 the Chief Rabbi contacts a Jewish family in Egypt having six daughters to marry.
Ephraim living in Haifa, Palestine has asked him to choose a wife for him.
Ephraim boards his smoky slow train from Palestine to Cairo and meets his future wife, her sisters and the imposing future Hama, mother-in-law.
1956: How to stop the endless wars between Egypt and Israel?
Very simple according to Israeli intelligence:
Send over a BBV, beautiful blonde virgin, seduce Nasser’s son, kidnap him and force his father to sign a lasting peace.
In theory everything was clear-cut.
In practice, it was another story!
