Synopses & Reviews
To rendezvous with her archaeologist fiance in Jordan, Barbara Vaughn must first pass through the Mandelbaum Gate -- which divides strife-torn Jerusalem. A half-Jewish convert to Catholicism, an Englishwoman of strong and stubborn convictions, Barbara will not be dissuaded from her ill-timed pilgrimage despite a very real threat of bodily harm and the fearful admonishments of staid British diplomat, Freddy Hamilton. So they set out together to brave the Holy City, and are swept into a complex, labyrinthine world where the sacred and the profane explosively collide.
