"Originally published in Italy as Dove mi trovo by Ugo Guanda Editors S.f.l., Milan, in 2018"--Title page verso.
"A marvelous new novel from the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Lowland and Interpreter of Maladies--her first in nearly a decade. Exuberance and dread, attachment and estrangement: in this novel, Jhumpa Lahiri stretches her themes to the limit. The woman at the center wavers between stasis and movement, between the need to belong and the refusal to form lasting ties. The city she calls home, an engaging backdrop to her days, acts as a confidant: the sidewalks around her house, parks, bridges, piazzas, streets, stores, coffee bars. We follow her to the pool she frequents and to the train station that sometimes leads her to her mother, mired in a desperate solitude after her father's untimely death. In addition to colleagues at work, where she never quite feels at ease, she has girl friends, guy friends, and "him," a shadow who both consoles and unsettles her. But in the arc of a year, as one season gives way to the next, transformation awaits. One day at the sea, both overwhelmed and replenished by the sun's vital heat, her perspective will change. This is Jhumpa Lahiri's first novel she wrote in Italian and translated into English. It brims with the impulse to cross barriers. By grafting herself onto a new literary language, Lahiri has pushed herself to a new level of artistic achievement"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Precise, simple and exquisite submitted by kkjammers on October 1, 2021, 9:42am Lahiri artistically articulates the feelings of her main character: a single woman in her 40s who lives alone in an Italian city. The unnamed narrator navigates between solitude and engagement with those she encounters, mildly flirting with a friend's husband, concisely revealing her relationships past and present with her parents, perfectly and lyrically describing the conundrum of her existence. Many readers may see themselves in Lahiri's writing; the author is able to gently coax readers into resonance with instances that might seem minor but are enormously revealing.
