摘要
The struggle to create the state of IsraelPalestine, 1947: The United Nations is about to vote on whether there should be separate lands for the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs are prepared to fight to prevent this partition, and the British are unwilling to interfere. Ruth Mendolsohn, who helped a group of young refugees flee Poland in After the War, is a member of the Haganah, a group of Israeli fighters that believes only in self-defense. Yet the Irgun, to which her brother Simon belongs, utilizes terrorist actions to get results. War seems inevitable, and both groups are going to have to fight. Will they find the security of a place they can call home?

Gr 8 UpIn After the War (S & S, 1996), Matas related the story of a 15-year-old concentration camp survivor, Ruth Mendelson, and told of her journey from Poland to Palestine. The Garden is set in and around Kibbutz David, where Ruth now lives. It is November 1947, and the United Nations is preparing to vote on a plan to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab lands. Ruth describes the difficulties the kibbutzniks face as British troops stand by and Arabs attack. She struggles with conflicting feelings about armed confrontation and longs for peace and security. Ruth is a courageous, sensitive young woman whose actions, ideas, and ideals are genuine and thought-provoking. Her first-person, present-tense narration is engrossing and unaffected. The other characters are well delineated, particularly Ruth's wisecracking boyfriend. The Garden is a riveting, relevant novel that raises tough questionsand provides no easy answers. It will be useful in units on war and conflict, but it's also a truly good read.Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

The sequel to 'After the War' follows Holocaust survivor Ruth as she begins a new life in 1947 Palestine. Content to stay on the kibbutz and tend her garden, the war-weary teenager must take up arms to help the Haganah--a Jewish self-defense organization--retain their newly granted land. The unrelievedly grim story provides a unique first person perspective on a major twentieth-century historical event. From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010.

Gr. 7^-10. In this sequel to the fine docunovel After the War (1996), 16-year-old Holocaust survivor Ruth Mendelson is on a kibbutz in Palestine in 1947, caught up in the war against the Arabs, a reluctant combatant--and killer--in the guerrilla conflict. Ruth's first-person, present-tense narrative tells of brutal action, including massacre by Arabs and Jews. She tells it quietly, trying to be fair to different Jewish views about the war, caught herself between her brother's extremism and those who fight only in self-defense. She is trying to make a home, trying to forget ("All I want is to live in peace"). This is not as strong as the first book. Each character seems be here to represent a viewpoint, and the story is purposive, more political warfare than fiction. --Hazel Rochman
