Questions Of Travel by Michelle de Kretser
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly globalizing world, this novel intricately weaves the lives of two disparate characters: Laura, an Australian woman who finds solace in the allure of travel, and Ravi, a Sri Lankan refugee seeking safety and belonging. As their paths cross in Sydney, the narrative explores themes of displacement, identity, and the contrasting desires for adventure and home. Through vivid storytelling and rich character development, the book delves into the complexities of modern travel, the impact of technology, and the universal quest for meaning and connection in an ever-changing world.
