Historical Fiction

The first ever translation of Max Brod’s novel (originally published in German in Berlin, 1911) which portrays the prosperous and settled world of assimilated Prague Jewry before the First World War – the world not only of Max Brod but also of his life-long friend, the writer Franz Kafka.

"Loved it! This is an engaging novel, with good characters, set in a unique time period. Recommended for anyone who loves ancient history. STARLIGHT IN THE DAWN is very well researched and written. The setting details put you right into the daily life in a Sumerian temple. The characters of Hedu and Beshi are engaging. I rooted for them....I cheered. I very much enjoyed the Sumerian mythology included in the novel... I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tale of a strong woman in a historical setting new to them."
