3.0 out of 5 stars A good story about a young Jewish girl discovering her roots for the first time, 7 Feb 2008
By S. Barnes (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: One More River (Paperback)
This is the story of Lesley, a young teenager who has lived her whole life in Canada. She's a popular girl, has lots of friends, a nice boyfriend, a happy home life and is well provided for by her parents.

But then her parents decide that something's missing from their lives, and having already lost one child to a Catholic marriage, they are adamant that Lesley must grow up with a stonger sense of her Jewishness than her brother did before her. So, all of a sudden Lesley's parents decide it's time to sell up the family business and emigrate to Israel, taking Lesley with them. Lesley of course is horrified and cannot imagine leaving the Canada she knows and loves... However, Lesley doesn't truly realise what she's given up until she arrives at the kibbutz (near the Palestinian border) where they have decided to make a fresh start. With fewer creature comforts, less privacy and solitude, Lesley struggles to settle in... until she begins to become fascinated by a Palestinian boy she can see working with his donkey on the other side of the river...

This is a good book and educational but, although enjoyable, it's quite rough and stilted in style. Not a flowing read, so I'm not yet in a hurry to read the sequel, 'Broken Bridge'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading, 19 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: One More River (Paperback)
A brilliant book that tells the story of the early days of the state of Israel from the viewpoint of Lesley, a teenager who immigrates from Canada to live on a kibbutz. Initially she is not at all convinced, but gradually she comes to value her new identity. One of my favourite passages of dialogue (of all time!) is in this book, when Lesley and a young Arab boy discuss the seemingly bleak future of adult politics. When you read this you will also want to read the sequel set about twenty years later.
