I have had a kind message from Stevan Hobfoll (former officer in the Israeli defence forces turned expert on Stress) about a novel he has written, The Imperfect Guardian.

The book is a Jewish adventure story, based loosely on his grandfather’s early years in Poland and Russia from 1906 (the failed first Russian Revolution) to 1921, a time when (as Stevan puts it) Jewish life had its full share of horse traders, revolutionary leaders, scoundrels, soldiers, intellectuals, peddlers, gangsters, and doctors.

Here’s a link.
