Eva Etzioni-Halevy

Eva is a sociologist-turned biblical novelist. She was born in Vienna, Austria but was fortunate to escape as a small child with her parents in 1939. She spent the war years in Italy, partly in an Italian concentration camp and partly in hiding. She lived most of her life in Israel, but spent two lengthy stretches of time in other countries, one in the U.S. and one in Australia. Some fifteen years ago, she decided to return to Israel to seek her roots there. She has three grown children and lives with her husband in Tel-Aviv.
