About this listen

Sweeping from Russia to Jerusalem, from New York to Nazi-occupied Germany, and finally to Israel, this is the richly layered story of an extraordinary woman whose epic struggle mirrors the battle of an emerging nation to forge its own identity.

Chavala Rabinsky is 16 when her mother dies and she becomes the caretaker of her five siblings. Beautiful and wise beyond her years, Chavala catches the eye of Dovid Landau, a poor cobbler whose dreams transform her life when he marries her. But Odessa, Russia, is a dangerous place in 1905. The Landaus flee the pogroms of their homeland for Ottoman-ruled Palestine - until escalating violence forces the family to become wanderers again.

Rich in passion and scope, No Time for Tears sounds a call of love and liberation that will ring out for generations to come.

Gave up in disgust

I understand the writer is passionate about being Jewish and the long history of abuse and discrimination ,however if a specific well documented military campaign is used as part of a work of fiction one would expect accuracy as far as reference to that campaign is concerned. The ignorance of this writer concerning Gallipoli,25th April, 1915 is deeply insulting to all Australians and New Zealanders. Many other countries fought at Gallipoli including all Commonwealth countries, France etc. This campaign was never meant to be successful! It was a diversion so other achievable objectives could be undertaken. For your information much friendship and respect developed between the ANZACs and the Turks as a result of this campaign and remains to this day. No group of Jewish soldiers fought there on that day and although several wild donkeys lived on the ridges there were no mules and certainly no muleteers. I gave up reading in disgust!
