The first part, 'Plenty', deals with family, and a yearning view of home from a new country, with all the ambiguity and doubleness this perspective entails. In the book's moving second half, 'Meet My Father', we encounter events more life-changing than merely moving abroad - a father's illness and death, the loss of that earlier plenty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eA Fold in the Map\u003c\/em\u003e is a nod to a phrase in Jan Morris's Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere, which describes the traveller's state of in-betweenness. In these poems of love and longing for home, family, and other loved ones, Isobel Dixon draws on a store of sensuous natural imagery, illuminating the ordinary, often with a touch of wry humour. Her accessible contemporary lyricism will speak memorably to those who have travelled, loved and lost. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nine Arches Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47780334829719,"sku":"9781911027140","price":862.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781911027140.webp?v=1778044520","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-fold-in-the-map-9781911027140","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
