A Journey to the End of the Millenium by A.B. Yehoshua

 Hosted by Joan

“A masterpiece” about faith, race, and morality at a medieval turning point, from the National

Jewish Book Award winner and “Israeli Faulkner” (The New York Times).

It’s edging toward the end of the year 999 when Ben Attar, a Moroccan Jewish merchant from

Tangiers, takes two wives—an act of bigamy that results in the moral objections of his nephew

and business partner, Raphael Abulafia, and the dissolution of their once profitable enterprise of

importing treasures from the Atlas Mountains. Abulafia’s repudiation triggers a potentially

perilous move by Attar to set things right—by setting sail for medieval Paris to challenge his

nephew, and his nephew’s own pious wife, face to face.
