Waterstones Says

Evoking the dramatic and riveting era leading up to the creation of the State of Israel through a page-turning story of love and danger, Grant’s acclaimed novel follows a young Jewish hairdresser from East London as she migrates to the Palestine of 1946 determined to make a fresh start.

It is April 1946. Evelyn Sert, twenty years old, a hairdresser from Soho, sails for Palestine, where Jewish refugees and idealists are gathering from across Europe to start a new life in a brand-new country.

In the glittering, cosmopolitan, Bauhaus city of Tel Aviv, anything seems possible - the new self, new Jew, new woman are all feasible. Evelyn, adept at disguises, reinvents herself as the bleached-blonde Priscilla Jones. Immersed in a world of passionate idealism, she finds love, and with Johnny, her lover, finds herself at the heart of a very dangerous game.
