Mead, a New Yorker writer, relocated her family to her birth city, London, in the summer of 2018. She was both fleeing the political situation in America and seeking to expose her son to a wider world. The move raised poignant questions for her: What does it mean to leave the place you have adopted as home and country? And what is the value and cost of uprooting yourself? Here Mead explores themes of identity, nationality, and inheritance, providing a stirring inquiry into how to be present where we are, while never forgetting where we have been
