À propos de cet audio

A Jewish civil war is tearing apart northern Israel. In the south, servants of the goddess Ashtaroth abduct unwary refugees. Haim, an unwanted boy, escapes into this nightmarish landscape to find his way in a world gone mad.

92 BCE. A widow and an old scribe together raise Haim, a boy whose lineage cursed him from birth. When Haim is 11 years old, he runs away into a world populated by Samaritan bandits, a cultic pagan temple devoted to horror, and the whiterobed priests of Qumran.

Desperate and lonely, Haim searches for community, friendship, and belonging while being plagued by a hunger for meaning he cannot satisfy.

Blind Man’s Labyrinth is a lyrical historical fiction novel set near the end of the Maccabean period. If you like stories that explore the conflict between survival and morality and ask questions about how outcasts fight against socially systemic cycles of fear and violence in their quest for friendship, kinship, and meaning, then you will love this masterful follow up to Daryl Potter’s deeply moving Keziah’s Song.

An intensely thoughtful story told with care and insight. A tenaciously detailed journey through a time and place now real in my mind. Great stuff.

Fantastic!

Potters signature compassion for his fully realized characters shines through again in this second outing. His ability to inhabit the mind if his characters as they traverse the moral arc of their journey recalls the sympathatic handling of human frailty seen in Dostoevsky. This is a deeply thoughtful, and captivating story. An intense journey through places and experiences unknown to most, woven through the grim events of an oft neglected period of history. I became more and more eager to return to the story with each chapter. If it's the only piece fiction you pick up this year, read this book!

Brilliant, well crafted and believable
