From a wry, insightful, and very funny new voice, here is one womans peripatetic search for home, from Kashmir to England to Saudi Arabia to Michigan to Rome and, finally, to Los Angeles.Priyanka Mattoo was born into a wooden house in the Himalayas, as were most of her ancestors. In 1989, however, mounting violence in the region forced Mattoos community to flee. The home into which her family poured their dreams was reduced to a pile of rubble.Mattoo never moved back to her beloved Kashmirbecause it no longer existed. She and her family just kept packing and unpacking and moving on. In forty years, Mattoo accumulated thirtytwo different addresses, and she chronicles her nomadic existence with wit, wisdom, and an inimitable eye for light within the darkest moments.
