Rebecca of Salerno: A Novel of Rogue Crusaders, a Jewish Female Physician, and a Murder
by Esther Erman
Women of B’nai Shalom’s book group discusses this wonderful book that continues the story of Rebecca from Walter Scott’s 1820 novel Ivanhoe.
The Ivanhoe backstory: Jewish women in medieval England do not fall in love with Christian knights like Ivanhoe. Neither do they heal knights from battle wounds. But Rebecca does both—and nearly pays with her life. Rescued by Ivanhoe from being burnt at the stake as a sorceress, she flees from England and the man she loves.
