The Fairest Among Women by Shifra Horn tells the story of Rosa, the girl with golden curls from Katamon, growing into beautiful women of Jerusalem. A strange prophecy ensures Rosa four husbands. In a night shrouded in fear, while she was still a girl, her love to her first husband was born. Rosa, fearful of any change, will have to deal with the vicissitudes of fate time and again.
In a sweeping and astonishing novel Shifra Horn describes the woman's turbulent life: how men cannot stand up to her charms, her life in the neighborhood, the friendly crows and butterflies determining her destiny, the twin angels and mysterious girl who visit her at night. The Fairest Among Women is a fairy tale full of magic, which takes place, between reality and imagination, over the course of fifty years.
Horn's best sellers have been translated into several languages and have won literary awards.

"I enjoyed this book. It is completely unrealistic and that is one of the things I enjoyed about it. It was nice getting lost in a "relatively" current fairy tale. To be clear though, it's not a fiary tale for children. The story wasnt pornographic by any means but it is definitely adult in nature."
