Title: Here is Still Here by Sivan Slapak

Raised in a family of post-war Jewish refugees in Montreal, Isabel feels displaced from an early age. She's searching for love, purpose, and the true meaning of home. From Montreal to Jerusalem and back again, she navigates checkpoints and borders, home and exile, milestones and disappointment, love and loss. Sivan Slapak's debut collection is an intimate and layered exploration of human connection and the complexities of identity. Told with compassion and wit, Here is Still Here is a poignant reminder that however far you may go, you remain yourself. The author lived in Jerusalem for 20 years before returning to Montreal in 2013.
