  • "A poignant, often painful, memoir of an extraordinary life. It is part tribute, part exploration of a mother-daughter relationship, and part attempt to come to terms with a haunting past. The story is sketched through Josaine's memories of a childhood with Dora - first in France, later in a migrant camp in Israel."
  • "It is 1961 in Montpelier, France. Dora and her eight-year-old daughter Josiane have been arrested, unable to provide on demand the one franc coin to prove - according to the law - that they are not vagrants. To the detective that holds her identity papers in his hand, the solution is simple. They are penniless, unwanted, itinerant and Jewish: they must be shipped back to The Promised Land. And so Dora and Josiane begin their new life in Israel - a place of warm sand-dunes and sweet oranges, of pomegranate juice and of mint tea poured from silver teapots. But this fresh start comes at a price. "A revelation of salty poetry and raw life, worked out in her radiant voice." - Andrea Ashworth "There is brilliance in this book." - Guardian."
