Welcome to Litsy!

This is a collection of short stories linked by one subject - immigration. Variations on this subject are moving between loss of the home, searching for peace of mind in a new environment … to the racial impatience, the desire to belonged, losing touch with the traditional values … Very good collection, but as always with short stories - some are stronger than others.

Short story collection centered on immigrants from the Sudan, moving between Khartoum, Aberdeen and London. Their search for identity in a new home and the sorrow in leaving the old one behind.

I'm not a fan of short stories however being an expat the title appealed to me. Thirteen short stories on being Elsewhere Home. With them all being based in the UK and the Middle East I could really relate to them. The first one really touched me, I felt I was back in Egypt, I could almost smell it.

I enjoyed these stories, I felt the author really got to heart of the complicated mix of feeling you experience when your Elsewhere Home.

A collection of short stories highlighting the immigrant experience in Great Britain. The stories, although on a theme, we‘re quite varied in point of view, country of origin and story line. Likewise the success of the stories, in my opinion, varied quite a bit as well. Overall, a mixed bag. #netgalley
