For the twenty-year-old from London\, it is a time of adventure and change when all things seem possible. \nSwept up in the spirited\, chaotic churning of her new\, strange country\, she joins a kibbutz\, then moves on to the teeming metropolis of Tel Aviv\, to find her own home and a group of friends as eccentric and disparate as the city itself. She falls in love with a man who is not what he seems when she becomes an unwitting spy for a nation fighting to be born. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nLinda Grant was born in Liverpool\, England in 1951\, and read English at the University of York. \nHer first novel\, The Cast Iron Shore (1996)\, won the David Higham Prize for Fiction and was shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Prize. Her second\, When I Lived in Modern Times (2000)\, set in Palestine immediately after the Second World War\, won the Orange Prize for Fiction and was shortlisted for the Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize for Fiction. Her novel\, Still Here (2002)\, set in Liverpool\, tells the story of a middle-aged English woman and her relationship with an American architect.Her non-fiction includes Sexing the Millennium: A Political History of the Sexual Revolution (1993) and Remind Me Who I Am\, Again (1998)\, an account of her mother’s dementia\, which won the MIND Book of the Year/Allen Lane Award.
