"Riveting – breathless action – a rousing story of romance and international intrigue – the makings of a great movie! The Gilboa Iris weaves together the timeless love story of Dara and Roni, a feisty American student and a brilliant Israeli commando, against the backdrop of global terror involving the infiltration of the US’s defense stratum and a double homicide on American soil. Zahava D. Englard merges wit, history, adventure and the triumph of the human spirit into a sensational read! " -Grace Bennett, Inside Chappaqua Magazine

"It was tough to tear my eyes away from The Gilboa Iris…. While the main character is not family (!) I did relate to her story and its incorporation of the very real tensions, terrorism fears and other issues that so many of us in the Western world must deal with today. A fast-paced, exciting read that has you praying for a happy ending!" -Eve Harow, Israel National Radio Show host

"Hard to believe Gilboa Iris is Zahava Englard’s first novel – it sizzles, oozing passion of all kinds. Great plot, fascinating characters and best of all, it’s brimming with local lore. Don’t miss this one!" -Yocheved Miriam Russo, Freelance journalist, Israel

"This moving story of love, death, rebirth and survival…a great read.!" -Ruthie Blum, American-Israeli author and social critic
