_"....It is said that once you have lived abroad for more than five
years you can never feel truly at home anywhere. This has something to
do with the feeling of helplessness we experience whenever we find
ourselves in a minority and try to fix it....To protect one's personal
comfort zone it is imperative to return home within about six
weeks....If you stay you have just taken your first steps towards the
truth about your childhood, your background and your culture. Far from
being at the center of all things, your life and all it hangs on is a
sideshow. You can never go back."_
\"A TERRIFIC STORY WORTHY OF WIDESPREAD READERSHIP.\" - TOP NEW YORK
LITERARY AGENT APRIL EBERHARDT.
\"FULL OF SCIENCE AND SCIENCE FICTION ABOUT AGING. A GOOD READ FOR NOW
WHILE WE CONTINUE TO GROW OLDER.\" - AWARD-WINNING SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGIST
DR ELLEN LANGER, AUTHOR OF \"COUNTERCLOCKWISE\".
_ _ The true strength of the novel is its narrative which is
skilfully interspersed with linguistic insights into the world of
translating: its pressures, its evolution from business to economy
travel to video-conferencing to translation machines to language
software and the frustration of edits and corrections.
Martina Nicholls
Amazon reviewer, Australia There is a thread of dry humour that
weaves its way through this 550 pg book - a multilayered, clever
story.
