Description
Set in eighteenth-century Frankfurt, this sweeping historical novel follows Gutle Schnapper, the remarkable woman who becomes the wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild and stands at the beginning of one of Europe’s most influential banking dynasties. Against the backdrop of the Jewish ghetto, political upheaval, and a rapidly changing Europe, Gutle navigates marriage, family, faith, and the demands of a life shaped by ambition and extraordinary circumstance. Rich in historical detail, the novel brings a lesser-known woman out of the shadow of a famous name while exploring resilience, loyalty, and the often-unseen labor behind dynastic success. Originally written in Hebrew and translated into English with vivid, accessible prose, it offers an intimate perspective on the origins of the Rothschild legacy.
