Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on covers and foredges. Inscribed by author. Body text and binding are still very good.
Visit Home is about a remarkable 100 years of visits 'home' by a community of Italian-Australians from the village of San Fior in north-eastern Italy.
The poignant details of their experience have parallels in those of all settlers in new lands - the painful farewells, the heartache of homesickness, the joyous reunions and the ambivalence of belonging.
The author concludes that visits home are central to the identities of many immigrants and their children. When 'home' is a shifting centre, many people find solace in the temporary sense of home experienced during return visits. (back cover)
