Reviews
The author of The Midwife and River of Dreams here attempts to enter the world of espionage writing, with decidedly mixed results. At the center of this somewhat unwieldy novel (supposedly based on real-life incidents) is Israeli spymaster Eli Katzar and the three women he recruits to form his "Ezra" team: Charlotte, an American princess from Scarsdale; Lily, survivor of the death camps; and Israeli-born Aviva. During a mission in France in the late 1970s, an Israeli scientist is murdered and Katzar realizes that one of the three has betrayed him. The novel alternates between Katzar's attempt to discover the turncoat with flashbacks of his own recruitment and training of the three women and the dangerous careers they survived as Israeli agents. Aside from its undue length, the book suffers chiefly from the fact that Courter telegraphs the answer to the key question far too early. 125,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild selection; author tour.

The "Ezra" group of Mossad, the Is raeli intelligence arm, has been be trayed, and Eli must find the traitor. As he reviews the files on his operatives, their histories and motivations are re vealed. Could the defector be Lily, Ho locaust survivor grown into an aloof, sophisticated woman; Aviva, tough sa bra whose lifelong byword has been sacrifice; or pampered, soft, American Charlotte, who has always been sus pected by Mossad leaders? Courter claims to have based her story on events shared by some real Israeli spies. While those events are intrigu ing, there is almost too much detail here, and the characters' motives are not entirely believable. Nevertheless, the book held this reader's attention and can be recommended as a fictional view of Israeli intelligence from the in side from 1939 to 1979. Andrea Lee Shuey, Dallas P.L.
