Some time in my early teens I read Lynne Reid Banks' 'One more river' and remember being fascinated by its being set in a Israeli kibbutz. This is third of Sarah Sultoon's novels I have read and to me it felt like a change of gear had been made; it felt meatier in some way, even though I was made aware of my ignorance concerning everyday life in Israel.
Which is not to say I didn't find it as impactful, enjoyable and impressive as her previous books, because I did. Intricate and convoluted; characters multi-layered and all with secrets. I look forward to re-reading in the not too distant future (as I also will 'One more river')
