KLIATT
Forced to flee the political turmoil of their native Ethiopia in the mid 1970s, Rebecca Haile's family settled in America with little hope of ever returning home.

KLIATT
Forced to flee the political turmoil of their native Ethiopia in the mid 1970s, Rebecca Haile's family settled in America with little hope of ever returning home. Held at a Distance is her account of returning 25 years later as an American tourist seeking to reconnect with the homeland she remembered. As her title implies, Haile found reconnection difficult. While warmly welcomed by relatives, her limited Amharic and her basic unfamiliarity with the country as a whole prevented anything like a total reintegration. Her book is, however, a carefully detailed summary of Ethiopian history, both ancient and modern, and an overview of the country's present political and economic situations. For herself, she established a tentative tie to Ethiopia's future and a fuller sense of self. Age Range: Ages 15 to adult. REVIEWER: Patricia Moore (Vol. 42, No. 1)
