As the world drifts closer to war and the nations shut their gates, a clandestine movement arises to get Jews out of Europe and into Mandatory Palestine before it’s too late. Shlomo Avraham cares about one protecting Jewish lives. With Palestine awash in blood and the British colonial authorities reluctant to respond, he swears his allegiance to the Haganah, an underground army defending the vulnerable Jewish community. But as political tensions in Europe rise, he sets off for Italy on an assignment just as helping Jews immigrate to Palestine in defiancé of the British blockade. And Shlomo will do whatever it takes, no matter the consequences, because only in their homeland can his people be free. On the eve of the Italian government’s official embrace of antisemitism, two young Jews meet in Trieste. Miriam MacRae is in search of her roots and David Weiss mourns the loss of his beloved home in Czechoslovakia. While the world crumbles around them, Miri and David fall in love and dream of a future together. But when war finally erupts, one impulsive decision sets Shlomo, Miri, and David all on paths of rescue and resistance that will test the limits of their courage and commitment to the Jewish people. Spanning from the turbulent 1930s to the birth of the modern state of Israel, No Other Place on Earth is a story of family, duty, and enduring love that will appeal to readers who enjoy historical fiction like Mark Sullivan’s _Beneath a Scarlet Sk_y, Kate Quinn’s The Huntress, and Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.
