3205.589 - 3229.046 Simon Sebag Montefiore

When I was brought up, and I know I'm speaking to at least a partly Jewish audience here, my mother was always most concerned about me eating properly and sleeping. And every time I tried to write a big book, I went to my mother and said, How am I going to write it? And I did with this book. I did with my later books, too. And I went to him. I said, I've signed up to write a history of Jerusalem.
