Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Sweet and supremely readable, ABROAD is a celebration of travel and all ways it can lead us to rediscover ourselves and relearn the true meaning of love." --Imbolo Mbue, Author of How Beautiful We WereABROAD chronicles the loves, losses, and friendships of Skip, his best friend, Maddie Erickson, and his rival, Rex Moreno, as they grow from adolescence to adulthood and encounter the thrill, lighthearted humor, and occasional trauma of living and working in pre-globalized France, Asia, and Mexico. Told through interconnected stories steeped in the cultural upheaval and sexual revolution of the 1960s and 70s, the novel examines how world travel upends the preconceptions of youth and one's home culture, while seeking to answer two questions: Can we ever truly understand someone from a different culture, and can we ever truly understand ourselves if we don't try?
