The Seed Apple

Descripción

Holocaust survivor Mendel Traig meets the Binyans, Jewish Indians living in the California desert who claim to be descended from King Solomon’s sailors. Is the fantastic tale of the family’s ancient journey from the disintegrating Mayan culture of the Yucatan to this northern “promised land” true or a myth? The Cold War is raging. Mendel falls for Sarah Cavanaugh, the engineer responsible for a controversial tower under construction on a sacred site. If completed, the tower will communicate globally with the American nuclear submarine fleet. The Binyan patriarch and his brilliant son are in a generational conflict over the tower and the son’s future. Spiced with magical realism and mysticism, The Seed Apple (a follow up to Greene's Lost and Found) is a mysterious, funny, moving novel by a critically acclaimed author.
