Born overseas, he is beset by trials and tribulations while growing up. Against the odds, he escapes from his violence-wracked homeland only to find everything he holds dear in North America jeopardized as he tries to keep his personal and professional life intact. A modern-day Ulysses, Martin faces the quintessential question of the displaced, “Where do I belong?” Set in Sri Lanka and Canada, this novel brings the dilemmas faced by many immigrants into sharp focus.’ (from rear wrap)
