N2  - This edition is a story of search for identity, and gives the reader a provocative and moving story of two "pilgrimages", one ending outside of the seeker's geographical context, and the other in a return to it: one resulting in a glimpse of self-recognition, the other in what turns out to be a refusal of it. The novel attempts a definition of personal and national identity that transcends geographical origins, and suggests that whether one is in his home country or not, the belief in his own human usefulness in his context has much to do with forging a healthy sense of belonging
