We have all been strangers in a strange land, the Bible tells us, meaning that all of us, at some point in our lives, will feel displaced. Just as we will experience falling in love, raising children, or growing old, so, too, will we find ourselves at sea in a new place, anxious and exhilarated. It is in that space of loss that no matter where we come from, we all join in our double-edged desire to at once return home and find belonging at our new destination. Each of these books captures an aspect of this universal experience.
