This site is about Night Swimming in the Jordan, an Anglo-Israeli novel due for publication in October 2023. It's also about both night and day swimming in the seas and rivers of Devon, UK, and AOB related to the themes that run through the novel, specifically education, human rights & community
A novel that for me, started to unravel and explain the hopes and aspirations of the early Jewish settlers in Israel. This is cleverly achieved through the eyes of a child who, as she grows up begins to understand that she has been growing up in possibly a false idyll? The book is funny, informative and the authors descriptions of the landscape around the kibbutz are beautiful. A thoroughly good read, touching an important subject from a new angle. More please!
Reading chapter 1 has been a wonderful start to a lazy Sunday morning. Brilliant. Bring on chapter 2…. Xx
