"Painful Love", Ram Oren's first trilogy, takes place during one of the most turbulent times in the history of the Land of Israel.
In the midst of bloody riots between Jews and Arabs, the stories of the lives of people who were linked by the hand of fate intertwine: NeA beautiful 18-year-old Ra immigrates to Israel with her low-income family and is looking for an easy way to happiness and wealth, an outstanding British officer is ready to commit any crime to win the heart of a young Jewish woman with whom he fell desperately in love, a senior official in Safed bequeaths all his possessions to a naked dancer, a Jewish boy is saved from a terrorist attack and taken to her home of an Arab family, a wealthy Saudi prince seeks to marry a girl from Acre who refuses to respond to his advances. All these and many other episodes fit into the first part of the trilogy. Ram Oren's fascinating and surprising style characterizes the three books of the trilogy that will be published one after the other.
