HOMESICK<br />
My Own Story<br />
Illustrated by Margot Tomes<br />
“Fritz draws readers into scenes of her<br />
youth in the turbulent China of the<br />
mid-twenties. One comes to appreciate<br />
the generous affection of her nurse/<br />
companion Lin Nai-Nai, the isolating<br />
distance in her mother’s grief over losing<br />
a second child, the dynamics of a suffering<br />
population venting its hostility on<br />
foreigners, and most of all, the loneliness<br />
of a child’s exile from a homeland she<br />
has imagined constantly but never seen.”<br />
