Sometimes, I feel like I traded in my life for my husband’s.
He got a life upgrade, and I got…a toaster.
I was supposed to be something. Now, I’m just an expat spouse.
Honour writes with poignant honesty about the loss of identity she experienced when she moved abroad. Using landscapes, history, and cultural observations as stepping stones, she sets out to pave a road back, if not to New York, at least to herself.
It’s a Lot to Unpack is about one woman’s determination to write herself back into the story amid all the moving parts that make up a life.
There’s nothing quite like stepping foot in a new country and declaring yourself home.
“A gem of a book.”
