Sisonke Msimang's memoir, Always Another Country, is a powerful and moving account of her life in exile and her search for home. Born in South Africa during the apartheid era, Msimang was forced to flee her homeland with her family when she was just a child. She grew up in various countries, including Zambia, the United States, and England, and struggled to find a sense of belonging and identity. In this memoir, Msimang explores the complexities of exile and diaspora, and the ways in which our experiences shape who we are.

Msimang writes with honesty and vulnerability about the challenges she faced as an exile. She describes the loneliness and isolation she felt, as well as the discrimination and racism she experienced. She also writes about the ways in which she was able to find solace and community in the face of adversity. Msimang's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and her memoir is a powerful reminder of the importance of home and belonging.

In addition to its personal narrative, Always Another Country also offers a broader perspective on the history of apartheid and its impact on South African society. Msimang's insights into the political and social context of her experiences are valuable and informative, and her memoir provides a unique perspective on one of the most important struggles for human rights in our time.

Always Another Country is a beautifully written and thought-provoking memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. Msimang's story is a reminder that we are all connected, and that home is not always a place we can find on a map.
