The Spell of Time: A Tale of Love in Jerusalem

Science and mysticism collide in this romantic fable from the acclaimed author of Compulsion and The Old Bunch.

When Félicité, a young French researcher, travels to Jerusalem to study the secrets of life alongside renowned professor Uriel Buchhalter, she is surprised to find the older man’s heart as engaging as his mind. But their relationship is complicated when American scientist, Joe Schwartz—bitterly jealous of his rival’s personal and professional accomplishments—also vies for Félicité’s love. To plumb Félicité’s true feelings, Joe and Uriel seek the aid of a cabbalist whose mystical solution sets all three on a journey that will change all their lives forever . . .

Featuring more than a dozen original black-and-white illustrations by Eli Levin, The Spell of Time is a captivating exploration of the vast spaces between science and faith, and of the tenuous bonds between body and soul.
