Her utter immersion in a new language becomes an exploration in self-expression: a writer's search for a new voice, a new identity. What emerges is a beautifully rendered series of self-reflective essays rich in nuance and metaphor that at their heart question the nature of existence. ~ Reviewed by Amy Palmer
