Abstract

Writer, poet, and critic Shirley Geok-Lin Lim seems to have written her memoir in order to work out some of her feelings about people and events in her life. She does so forcefully, with blunt opinions and an open expression of intimate details. Among the interesting questions she creates for the reader is: What defines one's homeland and, as we change, do our different life experiences create new homelands?
