Daughters:3 generations; 2 world wars; too many secrets; revenge; at last love

[cbaehr]

Historical Family saga beginning in 1870's Jerusalem through mid 1900's.
The Washington Post had this to say:
No fiction that I have read has illuminated the nation that was Palestine through the medium of the family saga … as does this absorbing novel. Like a landscape painter, Baehr skillfully paints the background and it becomes a palpable experience. I for one long to know what has happened to the village and its families in the last forty years." Washington Post Book

Daughters is a big book in every sense ; a long, richly textured novel filled with wonderful characters and an extraordinary sense of historical detail. Consuelo Saah Baehr has written a blockbuster with a heart.” Susan Isaacs, author of Almost Paradise and Shining Through.

“A tapestry of complex fully-developed characters whose lives are filled with challenges and struggles.” Chicago Sun Times

“Sweeping, uncommonly stirring!”
Publishers Weekly


From the one room dwellings of a tiny village near Jerusalem to the elegant town houses of Georgetown; from a world steeped in ancient traditions to a world of independent women comes this multi-layered novel of the lives, loves, secrets and strivings of three generations of Palestinian Christian women.

Miriam Mishwe is born into a world that hasn’t changed for centuries – rural Palestine in the last years of the 19th century. She marries a man chosen by her family but the world she sees as unchangeable is on the verge of upheaval.

Nadia is Miriam’s daughter. Sent to a local British school, she adopts many modern ideas but is not ready to renounce her heritage. It is Nadia’s child, Nijmeh, who looks to the west and calls herself by her English name, Star, when she goes to live in America. There she faces problems unknown in her childhood world of brooding hills and desert and brilliant skies.

Daughters is an unforgettable novel about courage, love and hope; and about two worlds – one ancient, one modern – and the extraordinary women who bridge them.

Like many Americans, I get excited when I get the stamp of approval from the U.K. Since I began publishing e-books, sales keep trickling in from Amazon U.K. It makes me dizzy with happiness.

Thank you.

I'm just reading your book, and whereas I love the story, there are too many mistakes, missing words, words cut in two, and formatting issues..

There are also problems with change of scenarios, as there are no breaks to suggest we're now in a different area or time.

It's a large book and a good book, and you should probably have invested in an editor...

Thanks for letting me know. I will have someone go over it. I appreciate it that you took the time to tell me.
