This is the third and final volume, in Hebrew, of Seashell Queen (מלכת הקונכייה), Zipora Cochavi-Rainey's three-volume biography of the Israeli writer Naomi Frankel. The Hebrew title of this volume is ניצחון הרוח (Victory of the Spirit).
This volume follows Frankel into her later years, including her time with the Israeli Navy during the War of Attrition, when she witnessed the navy's operations on the southern front. Frankel served in the Navy for eight years. The trilogy as a whole traces her life from her birth in Berlin in 1918 to her death in 2009, and includes a bibliography and index. Along the way it recalls her literary honors, among them the Ruppin Prize (1956) and the Ussishkin Prize (1962).
Cochavi-Rainey met Frankel in 1974 at a Navy base where both served, and they remained friends until Frankel's death. Published by Gefen in 2013, in paperback.
