Great historical fiction that spans from the 1920's to the 1970's giving us a sense of Yemeni Jewish Culture and oppression. It seems like I should have heard about Operation On Wings of Eagles, or Operation Magic Carpet before but I hadn't. Thank goodness for historical fiction. It made me want to read more on the subject. This book has one of my favorite quotes from a character who is responding to another about still loving people who have wronged them. He says: "The love you still bear them? Those are your minor key notes, the ones that give the melody it's power to haunt" Awesome.
