Author Naomi Ragen

Naomi Ragen's books fly on and off the shelves at the library where I work like you wouldn't believe.   Here's one that I was going to put on my 12 Books of Christmas list, but I had too many books.  I list it here so I won't forget it!

The Ghost of Hannah Mendes by Naomi Ragen.  

Israeli/American Ragen is a prolific writer based in Israel.  I follow her blog occasionally - she’s smart and courageous.  A library patron recommended this book and the story is fascinating – the Crusades, Jewish history, contemporary Manhattan … all rolled into one novel.
