Forgetting English: Stories

'Explores the indelible imprint of home upon identity and the ways in which new frontiers both defy and confirm who we are. From a biologist navigating the stark, icy moonscape of Antarctica to a businesswoman seeking refuge in the lonely islands of the South Pacific, the characters in these stories abandon their native landscapes--only to find that, once separated from the ordinary, they must confront new interpretations of who they really are, and who they're meant to be'--Cover p. [4].
