Tamar

The fourth novel in The American Quartet, Tamar, is the late 19th-century backstory of Binyan, narrated by Tamar Binyan, the family leader. Tamar depicts the tumultuous journey of a Jewish/Native American community that finds themselves dispossessed of their ancestral land. The story intimately follows the leader of the community, Tamar, as she navigates unprecedented events: the construction of a railroad, the arrival of settlers, war, and the relocation of her people to an industrialized world. An inspiring, visceral novel, Tamar will leave you breathless with its wholly unique perspective on this period of history. The dichotomy Greene creates between artificial America and Tamar's community further illuminates life's most fundamental modes of survival: self-sufficiency, community, love, and resilience - for a profoundly stirring work of historical fiction. -Self-Publishing Review
