1960s Rome. As teenage André stands on the dock, his mother fusses over
their luggage - 32 suitcases, trunks and tea chests that contain their
world. The ship will refuel and return to Alexandria, the home where
they have left their father, as the Aciman family begin a new adventure
in Rome. André is now head of the family, with a little brother to keep
in line and a mother to translate for - for although she's mute, she is
nothing if not communicative.
Equal parts transporting and beautiful, this coming of age memoir
shares the luminous, fragile truth of life for a family forever in
exile, living in Rome, but still yet to find a home
