"Through Karl’s experiences, Kapllani excavates the complex and often paradoxical relationship a person has with the homeland from which they have been separated, whether through immigration, war, regime change, or the simple passage of time". www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

The death of his father brings an expat back to his fraught hometown in Kapllani’s novel.
