- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2016The Iraqui Jewish diaspora spread east to Bombay and then onto Singapore.
I enjoyed this book as it told me of a world forgotten and of which very little has been written.
For those keen to know about the Iraqui Jewish diaspora this book is a Must
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2015As the book’s title suggests, The Messiahs of Princep Street has strong Biblical undertones. Indeed, it is the first of five novels which show the author looking askance at the Pentateuch, the first five books in the Old Testament.
However, you don’t need to be bible literate to enjoy the story of Adam Messiah. Like Moshe Elias himself, Adam is a Jew born in Singapore, but the book is not an autobiography.
Instead it is a damn good read, a coming of age tale of a boy growing up in a multi-cultural neighbourhood, a wartime memoir, a love story. It also gently highlights the similarities between world religions and questions the all too literal adherence to scripture.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2015This book is a must read! A charming story of a relatively unknown community living in colonial Singapore. So vividly told, you can see the characters, hear their voices and smell the local cuisine!
