Description
In a voice that feels intimate and urgent, this novel follows a young girl’s search for belonging as her world shifts—socially, emotionally, and geographically—leaving her to question what home really means. Through a series of encounters and memories, she navigates the pull between tradition and change, the fragility of community, and the ways childhood can be both refuge and battleground. Sia Figiel’s lyrical, sharply observant style brings lived experience to the page, blending humor, tenderness, and hard-won clarity. At its heart, the book is a meditation on identity, displacement, and the places we once belonged to—whether in a village, a family, or the self we thought would always be there.
