A Polish maid in Berlin . . . an Irish nanny in New York . . . an American hippie in Tripoli . . . an East German born in Mongolia, bred in Shanghai, with bank accounts in three countries . . . With biting humor, Irene Dische recounts the small tragedies of people condemned by the vagaries of modern existence to a restless mobility. Dishche's prose is as strangely flavored as the lives she describes.
