Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Serves up heaping portions of yearning, passion, alienation, and regret, and establishes Dana Shem-Ur as one of the rising stars of the new Israeli literature."¿Joshua Cohen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The NetanyahusA piercing novel about life abroad in a cultural setting not one¿s own: Reut is an Israeli translator living in Paris with a French husband and their child. She¿s made sacrifices for her family but now feels a simmering discontent and estrangement that erupts at a festive dinner party with affluent, intellectual friends. During the sumptuous meal, she navigates a tangle of cultural codes with which she¿s never been fully at ease. This is a novel about big life choices that examines a woman¿s attitudes toward belonging to a man, to a culture, to a language. Where I Am is an intimate, witty book portraying a profoundly human yearning to stop everything, to lay down one¿s head, and to feel¿if only for a moment¿at home.
