Kin or Country literary and reader reviews

---

"Kin or Country is, without question, an engrossing, albeit disturbing read. Alster’s dialogue nimbly advances the plot. The author has a keen ear for speech, powerful emotions, and human interaction. For Israeli readers the book has ominous implications and will surely evoke contemporary passionate debates about the inner workings of the haredi community and its effects on the larger society." - Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post

"The question throughout the novel is whether Israel is to remain a united nation, the one and only Jewish state, or whether there are to be two Jewish states – Israel and Judea ‒ one a secular democracy, the other a theocracy.  We learn Paul Alster’s prediction only in the closing pages. The result is a truly gripping vision of the way Israel could travel in the next quarter of a century, an exciting and mind-stretching literary experience." - Neville Teller, Eurasiareview.com

"The reader can savour an almost delicious sense of dramatic irony created by knowing whose body is found in the Jerusalem hills and how the murder came about, whereas the public and the novel's characters cannot until the investigation unfolds... As the novel reaches its conclusion there is a certain grim satisfaction experienced by the reader as the murderer is exposed, while the result of the referendum is not a foregone conclusion and may ultimately surprise." - Lucille Cohen, ESRA magazine
