One More River

This novel follows Lesley, a young Jewish girl who is uprooted from her life in Canada to join a kibbutz in Israel during the 1960s. The narrative centers on her difficult adjustment to the collective lifestyle, exploring the friction between her individual identity and the communal demands of the settlement. As she navigates this new cultural landscape, the story touches upon the broader geopolitical tensions of the era, including the 1967 war, which serves as a backdrop to her personal struggle for belonging.
