When I Lived in Modern Times by Linda Grant
It's April, 1946, and Evelyn Sert, a young hairdresser from Soho, arrives in Tel Aviv. Jewish refugee and idealists from all over Europe are gathering to forge not only the new Jew but a modern consciousness. But all these dreams will turn out to be not quite what the pioneers and refugees had imagined.
