When I Lived in Modern Times
By Linda GrantPublisher: Dutton/Plume, 2000
See below for purchasing options.
In the spring of 1946, Evelyn Sert stands on the deck of a ship bound for Palestine. For the twenty year-old from London, it is a time of adventure and change when all things seem possible. Swept up in the spirited, chaotic churning of her new strange country, she first 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. Ultimately, she falls in love with a man who is not what he seems when she becomes a unwitting spy in an underground army for a nation fighting to be born.
Told through the eyes of one of the most unforgettable heroines in contemporary fiction, When I Lived in Modern Times is one woman's story of discovery of herself, of her heritage, and of the land that would become Israel.
