Elisa Bernick Livres

What's it like living in another country? People have been fascinated by the topic for millennia, accounting for best sellers from Herodotus to Mayle and Mayes. While many readers are satisfied with a vicarious experience, a growing number want to live it for themselves. Elisa Bernick offers readers the book she wished she'd had when she and her husband and children were planning their 18-month family sabbatical.

This memoir offers a compelling look at the author's experiences growing up Jewish in the Midwest, highlighting the challenges and unique perspectives that come with feeling different in a predominantly non-Jewish community. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, the author explores themes of identity, belonging, and the cultural nuances of Jewish life, providing readers with an insightful narrative that resonates with anyone who has navigated the complexities of fitting in.
