Description

SHORTLISTED in the Singapore Literature Prize 2020 Creative Nonfiction Category. WINNER in the Singapore Literature Prize 2020 Readers' Favourite English bookFrom the Soviet Union's Iron Curtain to Burma's Bamboo Curtain and Sikkim to Seoul, this memoir follows the journey of a young girl whose life was a cross-continental rollercoaster ride that soared and plunged from one country to another. By the time she was fifteen, Ashwini Devare had lived in 6 countries. With a front row seat to political developments and upheavals around the world, Devare chronicles a lifetime of nomadic living: Moscow at the height of the Cold War, a far-right Switzerland pushing to limit immigration, America mired in the Vietnam War, Sikkim in the midst of a pro-democracy movement and India during turbulent times. Lost at 15, Found at 50 is a vibrant reflection by a singular voice on adventure, identity and courage.
