#BookReview - The Captive from Judea by Ory H. Kale #HistoricalFiction #TheCaptivefromJudea #NetGalley


The Captive from Judea
By Ory H. Kale 

There is nothing left to live for...

Or so Shlomzion thought after losing her family during the siege of Jerusalem and then being sold as a slave.

Marcia, a lady from Caesarea, buys the captive of Judea when she recognizes the leather pouch hanging around her neck. It reminds her of the first time Marcia met her in Jerusalem before the destruction when she made a pilgrimage to fulfill her mother's vow.

However, life in Caesarea is not easy for Shlomzion as Marcea's husband is a rude man and her friends are drunken Roman soldiers. But when their lives are in danger, they are forced to leave everything behind and embark on a new path.

In this lovely short story, Ory Kale shows how two brave young women in Roman-occupied Judea don't give up despite the loss.

An emotional short-read that was fabulous from beginning to end. The author really brought to life the era and the characters were wonderfully drawn. This book is something very special indeed and I highly recommend it.

Ory is a historical fiction author who toys with light and darkness.

Ever since she was a little girl, she has loved reading books. As a girl, she used to write newspapers without publishing them and created stories in sequels.


She loved making up stories before bed for her little ones, and that was how she got the ideas for her first novels.

Till today she published seven historical Jewish romances in Hebrew.

In addition to writing, Ory H. Kale is an Herbalist and a natural pharmacist.

Ory's first short novel in English is "The Captive from Judea," based on the Hebrew book "Until the Shades will Flee."

As long as her imagination keeps running wild, be ready for more… a lot more….
