Description

This Way Back by Joanna Eleftheriou is a poignant exploration of identity and belonging. Born to Greek-Cypriot parents in Queens, New York, the author's life was marked by a complex relationship with her ancestral homeland, Cyprus. Through a series of vignettes, the book recounts the author's journey as she navigates her place within her community, family, and culture. From childhood memories of Cyprus to adult experiences of love, loss, and activism, Eleftheriou's writing weaves together personal narrative and historical context to create a rich tapestry of story. By examining the intersections between individual experience and collective history, This Way Back challenges traditional notions of memoir and identity, inviting readers to consider the ways in which our lives are shaped by both personal and political forces.
