>From Richard Zimler - 8 Mar 2007: I have a question: do you know how to say
bougainvillea (the flowering vine) in Konkani, by any chance?
Who is Richard Zimler?
Headline: In search of the silenced
Source: The Independent (UK). 2 March 2007.
Excerpts: Richard Zimler has won global acclaim for his novels about the
Portuguese Jewish diaspora. He stormed the bestseller lists in two
continents with The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon
The book yoked its sketches
of secret lore to a meaty and moving historical saga which introduced the
Zarco dynasty of Portuguese Jews. Zimler never harboured plans to write a
series but Zarcos returned, first in Africa and then, battling the
Inquisition, in the Goa of his Guardian of the Dawn. Now, in The Seventh
Gate (Constable, £7.99), the family takes a fourth bow
1655 words. Full

An experience to relate. My wife, is an avid Zimler fan. Last year she was
traveling home from the office, got into a tube train and pulled out
Guardian of the Dawn to continue reading it. Another woman sitting opposite
her also reached into her bag and pulled out a copy of the same book. Their
eyes met and they are now firm friends
