STRANGERS WITH THE SAME DREAM - Alison Pick
~ Standard Hardcover
A band of young Jewish pioneers in 1920s Palestine set out to realize a dream: the founding of a settlement on a patch of land that would, twenty-five years later, become Israel . . .Â
Writing with restrained power, Pick creates unforgettable characters who are haunted by ghosts, compromised by secrets, and finally, despite flashes of love and hope, worn down by hardship, human frailty, and the pull of violent confrontation, as well as a story about the land itself. Strangers with the Same Dream's astonishing conclusion forces its readers to confront the question of what is truly knowable in the human heart.
"On one level, a fascinating novel about early kibbutz life, but more deeply, this is thought-provoking fiction that asks important, relevant questions about ideology, privacy, equality, idealism, power, corruption and war.” -- Miriam Toews, bestselling author of All My Puny Sorrows, A Complicated Kindness, and Women Talking
