“…a romping odyssey of a historical novel, through sieges and sea battles, the picturesque and the squalid, from Cairo to Istanbul to Jaffa. The historical detail is convincing without being weighty, and what with occasional appearances by real figures such as Talleyrand and Bonaparte himself, this is a pretty interesting corner of history to spend time in.” – Moment Magazine
“Cameron’s colorful descriptions of places the French troops visited, suspense over Daniel’s and Mirelle’s unfulfilled love for each other, and wonder over what roles Daniel, Christophe, and Ethan will play in the unfolding story make this novel one that readers will hungrily await the denouement.” – San Diego Jewish World
“Against the backdrop of Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign—doomed by his arrogance and ambition—the author deftly brings to life the heartache and redemption of Beyond the Ghetto Gates’ ill-fated lovers. This page-turner is a must-read.” – Sharon Friedman on her blog
“Serving as the sequel to the acclaimed ‘Beyond the Ghetto Gates’, Napoleon’s Mirage offers a richly detailed and meticulously researched narrative. The book delves into historical intricacies, romance, betrayals, cultural missteps, and military losses. Continuing from the previous installment, the narrative follows Daniel and Christophe as they embark on a treacherous expedition with General Bonaparte to an undisclosed location, a year following the prior events.” – Sylvia on Amazon
“Ultimately, this is a story about hubris, about a leader whose ego wrought disaster on his own soldiers because he wouldn’t listen to advisors whose judgements differed from his own. Sadly, it’s an all too relevant tale. A powerful, immersive story sure to cast a spell on readers who love historical fiction.” – Mally Becker on Goodreads
“With her impeccable research and intriguing characters, Michelle leaves no stone unturned in enhancing our understanding of this era.” – Meryl Ain on Amazon
