Literature and Fiction
The highly acclaimed author of Where Earth
Meets Water returns with an arresting
exploration of family and culture When
native New Yorker Nicholas Grand applies for an
international student exchange program, he thinks it's an
opportunity to broaden his horizons and meet some
interesting people. He never imagines that a single year
would have repercussions that would follow him throughout
his lifetime. Nicholas is sent to Estonia, where
he meets shy, sensitive Paavo, his beautiful sister, Mari,
and their gruff father, Leo—a family grappling with the
challenges of life in a small country struggling to assert
its post-Soviet identity. Nicholas sets off on an
unforgettable journey through a foreign landscape that
ultimately teaches him that some bonds can never be
broken. Bridging two uniquely captivating
cities, The Faces of Strangers traces the
intertwined lives of two seemingly symmetrical families from
extraordinarily different worlds. This compelling odyssey
through friendship and self-discovery illuminates the
universality of how deeply we are defined by our connections
with others.
