Description
Eva Hoffman's memoir is a poignant exploration of identity and belonging. In 1959, at just thirteen years old, she was forced to leave behind her native Poland and start anew in suburban Vancouver.
As she navigated adolescence in a foreign language and culture, Hoffman struggled to reconcile her past with her present. Her journey took her from the tumultuous world of post-war Europe to the vibrant literary scene of 1960s New York.
This deeply personal account is also a thoughtful meditation on the complexities of cultural identity, the power of language, and the search for self in a rapidly changing world.
