The Place Where I Come From Is Gone

Publisher Verticales
COLLECTION Verticales
Inspired by actual events, this polyphonic novel explores the dreams of exiles, come true or forever unfulfilled.

From El Salvador to the U.S., Somalia to France, the fates of Litzi, Sahra, and Marta crisscross to tell a migrant tale of those who reach their destination, those who disappear, and the grief of exile. It is also the story of Jeremy, who falls in with a nationalist movement. From one continent to another, scattered families confront the same uncertainty: in a world where hope of a better life sometimes turns into a nightmare, what should we pass on to our children that no borders can erase?
