Full Description
Where the Heart Isn't is a poignant account of cultural itinerancy. Part
memoir, part essay and part survival manual, it deconstructs the
notions of "home" and "heart" and chronicles the author's quest to bring
the two together.
The author weaves episodes of injustice, rebellion and awakening, which
span several decades. Her remembrances, offered at first through the
lens of a scientist, lead the reader to profound reflections on the
importance of cultural exchanges. We are reminded that people who leave
their homeland by choice or by necessity bring a unique perspective that
is so important for social change. Finally, a powerful lesson:
sometimes defeat can be a better teacher than success.
This is a tale for the present and the future, one that transgresses the
cultural zeitgeist and geographical boundaries. It is a
coming-of-middle-age story for Generation X and all other generations
who are on the path of life.
