WHERE TO FIND ME
A gripping and poignant tale about loss and chance encounters.
Hannah Karalis, a teenager living with her family in 1980s Notting Hill, becomes fascinated by her neighbour, Flora Dobbs, an enigmatic elderly woman who has clearly had an interesting past but the improbable friendship that the two strike up is abruptly cut short by Flora's sudden departure from the neighbourhood. Nineteen years later, Hannah is astonished to receive a bequest from Flora, a black notebook, which sets her on a search for the truth, leading her to confront the ghosts of an unresolved past.
Transporting the reader from occupied Paris and British Mandate Palestine to contemporary London, Where to Find Me is a gripping and poignant tale of chance encounters, tangled lies and painful discoveries, as well as an inspiring account of how to face and overcome the effects of loss and tragedy in our daily lives.
Alba Arikha is the author of four books: Muse and Walking on Ice, published by Macmillan in 1998 and 2000. Her memoir, Major/Minor, about her adolescence in Paris, was published by Quartet Books, shortlisted for the Spear's awards and selected among the best books of 2012 by the New Yorker. Her last book, a narrative poem, Soon, was set to music and performed as an opera at the Riverside Studios, London. In addition to her books, Alba is also a singer-songwriter, has performed in London and Paris and recorded two CD's. Samuel Beckett was her godfather, she grew up in Paris, and her mother is the poet Anne Atik.
