I had this book for about a year when I was going book crazy in preparation for co-writing a book about the Jewish communities in Nigeria. I finally got around to reading this book, while being delayed on a flight. I found the book to be one of those that is hard to put down. I like the fact that the book is told from the perspective if someone searching for the answer to a question and giving details of fortunes and misfortunes along the way. I normally am not good at reading books all the way through because of my hectic schedule.The information in this book is both enlightning and tragic in another. Of course the research points out that the Lemba have DNA that is of the Kohen Model type, and at the same time to see how much they have lost in terms of this heritage is the sad part. Yet, the book is truly a must and another one that I think should be a part of every Jewish library and Yeshivah.
