By Gefen Jonathan (Author)
After the Six Day War, I received a student scholarship and went to Cambridge University in England for a year. I had a hard time leaving my younger sisters,Both of us were grieving over our mother who passed away a short time before that. Out of longing and guilt, and in order to make my sister Anat happy, who was four years old, I wrote her poems. I wrote the stories for her in Oretz, after I returned.
