Six months later, the boys father joins them, bringing a brown suitcase, insomnia, and a scar on his thigh. Saa Staniics Where You Come From is a novel about this family, whose world is uprooted and remade by war: their history, their life before the conflict, and the years that followed their escape as they created a new life in a new country.Blending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, Where You Come From is set in a village where only thirteen people remain, in lost and made-up memories, in coincidences, in choices, and in a dragons den. Translated by Damion Searls, its a novel about homelands, both remembered and imagined, lost and found. A book that playfully twists form and genre with wit and heart to explore questions that lie inside all of us: about language and shame, about arrival and making it just in time, about luck and death, about what role our origins and memories play in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67778700345632,"sku":"NEW1951142756","price":19.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61t9yMprgjL.jpg?v=1792050112","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/where-you-come-from-1951142756","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
