Description
In this thoughtful memoir, a daughter traces the personal and cultural legacy of her father’s work as an interpreter, exploring how language shapes family, memory, and identity. Moving between intimate recollection and broader reflections on history and belonging, the narrative considers the silences, misunderstandings, and connections that emerge across generations and cultures. Both a family portrait and an exploration of heritage, the book offers a nuanced meditation on translation—not only between languages, but between past and present, home and elsewhere.
