A son who left his village as a youth returns to the deathbed of his father, a fisherman, triggering a wave of memories with an undertow of silent remorse and reproach. After landing a coveted position in an international organization in Geneva, an expatriate who rents an apartment is haunted to the point of obsession by the possessions left by the previous tenant. When a woman in her eighties goes to the Mediterranean to sell her summer house, ignoring her children and on her own, her journey brings her all kinds of experiences and feelings. Winner of the City of Donostia Kutxa Literature Award, "Nothing Is Where I Left It" is a collection of observant and sensitive stories. Past dreams and subsequent disappointments, elusive beauty, fleeting moments of connection with others, alienation, the unstoppable passage of time... The splendid narratives in Itziar Otegi’s first collection of stories showcase her rich and precise use of language as well as a style both subtle and delicate.
