For the twenty-year-old from London, it is a time of adventure and change when all things seem possible.  Swept up in the spirited, chaotic churning of her new, strange country, she joins a kibbutz, then moves on to the teeming metropolis of Tel Aviv, to find her own home and a group of friends as eccentric and disparate as the city itself. She falls in love with a man who is not what he seems when she becomes an unwitting spy for a nation fighting to be born. When I Lived in Modern Times is \"an unsentimental coming-of-age story of both a country and a young immigrant . . . that provides an unforgettable glimpse of a time and place rarely observed\" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48678261588203,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":49.44,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780452282926-1.jpg?v=1781624033","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780452282926","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
