Six months later, the boy's father joins them, bringing a brown suitcase, insomnia, and a scar on his thigh. Sasa Stanisic's \u003cem\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, \u003cem\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/em\u003e 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, it's 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":"Sasa Stanisic (Author), Damion Searls (Translator)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42193293934819,"sku":"9781951142759","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/3906\/6759\/products\/9781951142759-us.jpg?v=1638817333","url":"https:\/\/littleprofessorbookshop.com\/products\/where-you-come-from","provider":"Little Professor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
