Caracteristici
Situates Amaryllis Gacioppo alongside figures like Adam Weymouth within the new vanguard of travel writing: those who are reinventing the genre for a world that is increasingly globalised, and when questions of belonging and citizenship have been throw into sharp relief by the refugee crisis

Recenzii
A brilliant exploration of mixed heritage . Gacioppo traces her ancestral footsteps through four cities; Turin, Benghazi, Rome and Palermo . Sometimes, when Gacioppo hits a wall in her efforts to reach back in time, her solution is to enter a reverie in which she imagines what happened. These passages are deliciously written, rich and evocative. They sparkle even amid the crystalline prose of Motherlands as a whole
The idea of home - whether real or imagined - animates this blend of memoir and history . . . and the result is unusual, intimate, and often moving
Motherlands by Amaryllis Gacioppo (Bloomsbury, £20) is an appropriately hard-to-pin-down sort of book from a writer gifted with multiple heritages surveying the landscapes of her own and her family's pasts. Note: pasts necessarily in the plural, like those titular motherlands. My favourite books of this type find the big questions (belonging, memory etc) in small, concrete things: an old photo, an old building, a map. It's not a new approach, but few do it this well.
