Description:"Home is where the heart is," we say (the aphorism is attributed to the Roman scholar, Pliny), and that place may not always be where we live and work and love. We can carry our notion of "home" around with us: we cannot choose our homelands, but our hearts tell us when (and where)we're "home." This anthology brings together a range of voices that express how it feels to leave the country of one's birth and move to another. The voices speak of uncertainty and longing--of what poet Robert Frost called "the ache of memory"--as much as they do of relief and contentment.The immigrant writers represented here have experienced emotional struggles, as they attempted, and continue to attempt, to reconcile ambition and nostalgia, hope and regret, their futures with their pasts. And it would appear that most immigrants, despite inevitable struggles, setback, and uncertainties, have managed to adapt and prosper with remarkable skill, courage, and resilience. As Canadian writer Audrey Thomas has aptly said, "Canada is not the promised land, although it is a land full of promise."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
