Über diesen Titel
One woman's cross-country journey to explore the hold family history has on our lives, and the power of new stories to shape what lies ahead.
In her mid-thirties and happily single, Karen Babine hitches up her tiny Scamp camper and sets out with her two unenthusiastic cats on a journey from her home in Minnesota to Nova Scotia to explore the place where her French-Acadian ancestors settled in North America some four centuries ago.
As the miles roll by, she wonders: "Why do we carry this need to belong to an established history? What happens when that can't—or shouldn't—happen?" The road reveals more questions than answers about her history, identity, and belonging, about the responsibilities of stories and silence, about her life choices, and what it means to be driven by both a strong sense of kinship to a close-knit family on one hand and a deep desire for independence on the other.
Capturing the joy, freedom, and powerful pull of the open road, The Allure of Elsewhere is about the stories we're told, the stories we tell, and the way those stories make us who we are. Intimate, curious, and candid, written with wry wit and warmth, this is a courageous and inspiring memoir.
