שנות העשרים

Speaking to herself as 'you', the narrator returns as if dreaming to the routes of her youth, when she was trying to find where she belonged, reading the confusing traces she left there and covering them with new ones. The landmarks are familiar: enlistment, twelve months on a kibbutz, life in the city, dead-end work and worse boyfriends, heartbreak, and the broken music of the 1990s and early 2000s. Blending what was with what might have been, a second-person memoir in pursuit of its 'I' becomes a novel.
