About the Book

There are hitches and humour when Arnon and Maggie Goren and their two young sons set off from England for Israel in Spring 1973 in a 1933 Rolls Royce towing an old caravan. They follow the Kenneth Clark 'Civilization' route through France and Italy for three weeks, enjoying the splendours of countryside, historic buildings and art in those countries before embarking for Haifa. Maggie learns the hard way about Israeli bureaucracy and wonders whether bad luck comes in threes or multiples of three. They settle in the independent village of Ramat Yishai, Northern Israel, with its idiosyncratic 'rainbow' population. The October 1973 Yom Kippur War breaks out and Reserves officer Arnon leaves abruptly to find his artillery unit and is away for six months. After four years and the birth of twins in 1975 Arnon makes the decision to return to England. The book is threaded through with Maggie's thoughts and feelings about the scenically beautiful and historically stunning country to which she elected to become a 'temporary' immigrant with reflections on the inexorable nature of politics, love and war.
