Dislocations: Stories

These moving and insightful stories help us to find our place in a world in which we have all become rootless travelers. Janette Turner Hospitals characters are exiles who share an intimate knowledge of dislocation: from their culture, from their native countries, from themselves. Her intimate stories capture the turning points in her characters lives from Indian lovers on a last romantic weekend before their arranged marriages to a daughters welcome home after years of travel. Janette Turner Hospital is a wanderer herself. A native of Australia, she has lived in India, England, Canada, and the United States. She is the author of numerous novels, including <em>Oyster</em>, which is published by Norton and was shortlisted for Australias Miles Franklin and National Book Awards.
