Title: A Strange Death / Hillel Halkin
Description: London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson 2006. First Edition. A recreation of a village in Palestine and its characters. each gently and carefully called back from the past to tell their stories in a literary narrative. In 1917. the members of a spy ring who sought to assist the British in driving the Turks from Palestine were betrayed. It was said that four women of the town were seen laughing at the arrests of their neighbors. Each met a strange fate: one died prematurely. the second went mad. the third was an invalid and the fourth lived out her life in disrepute. When Halkin read this story of the village that he lived in. it inspired him to begin a journey into the past. His friends and neighbors each offered a different version of the events. and Halkin discovered that each of them was in some way affected by the legendary fate of the spy ring.
