The kibbutzim are collective settlements in Israel which have been written about extensively over the years, & are praised as the only example in world history of entire communities attempting, voluntarily, to live in total equality. Conceived as a socialist utopia by its early pioneers, the kibbutz was a radical experiment in communal living, gender equality, economic egalitarianism, & the reorganisation of family life. But in spite of its progressive ideals, there is a dark side to the kibbutz which is being told in the accounts of children who were raised in the communal `children`s houses`, suggesting this was an institution which victimised its offspring for the sake of ideology. In this spare & lucid memoir, Neeman
- a child of the kibbutz in the `60s
- draws on the collective memory of the hundreds of thousands of people who grew up in kibbutzim during their height & who have intimately shared their memories with her. We Were the Future is more than merely a compelling personal account of growing up in a kibbutz: it is an unstintingly honest examination of the perils of organising society & a new lens through which to see the history of Israel.

As Montrealer Catherine Day sets foot in a remote fishing village & starts asking around about her birth mother, the body of a woman dredges up in a fisherman`s nets. Not just any woman, though: Marie Garant, an elusive, nomadic sailor & unbridled beauty who once tied many a man`s heart in knots. Detective Sergeant Joaquin Morales, newly drafted to the area from the suburbs of Montreal, barely has time to unpack his suitcase before he`s thrown into the deep end of the investigation.

Interviews drift into idle chit-chat, evidence floats off with the tide & the truth lingers in murky waters. It`s enough to make DS Morales reach straight for a large whisky... Both a dark & consuming crime thriller & a lyrical, poetic ode to the sea, We Were the Salt of the Sea is a stunning, page-turning novel, from one of the most exciting new names in crime fiction. ...
