I really enjoyed this thoughtfully written memoir. It had a great balance of bringing me into the fantasy of a life in the North and also the realities of the challenges of finding yourself when you are always on the move in search of a home. Braverman's writing style is direct and thoughtful. I liked the way she wove together different eras of her life and the connection between the opening chapter and final chapter was really well done. It focuses a lot on the experience of being a woman and how it is defined in male spaces, but I think it would be an engaging read to anyone thinking about their identity and presence.
