Product Description
Product Description
'Born in Egypt, I was brought up in the spirit of Hebrew Palestine. I lived in the Middle East but received a French education. I married an Englishman and we both became Israelis.' In elegant prose, Suzy Eban evokes her unusual childhood and the complexities and rewards of her life as wife of international statesman, Abba Eban. She is a shrewd judge of character, and reveals unknown facets of known personalities.

Outstanding Memoir, 23 April 2010
By Irene G. Ostroff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Sense of Purpose: Recollections (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding memoir. Suzy Eban's early life in Egypt and her adult life as wife of Abba Eban is a unique window into the early history of the State of Israel. The writing is captivating. Wonderful photos. A must read.
