The author was born in 1960 on Kibbutz Yehiam, and tells the story of her growing understanding of how differently she was raised from others when she began to realise it. “We spoke in the plural. That’s how we were born, that’s how we grew up, forever. Our horizons were strange, bent.”
It is a beautifully written personal account and an honest examination of the kibbutz “experiment”.
