A piercing novel about life abroad in a cultural setting not one's own: Reut is an Israeli translator living in Paris with a French husband and their child. She's made sacrifices for her family but now feels a simmering discontent and estrangement that erupts at a festive dinner party with affluent, intellectual friends.

Where I Am is an intimate, witty book portraying a profoundly human yearning to stop everything, to lay down one's head, and to feel--if only for a moment--at home.
