Have you ever......ached for something you couldn't name?...imagined a different life and wondered 'what if'?...dreamed of a place you've never been, but knew would be home?...yearned for a truth, a way of being? Fourteen authors from six countries, spanning five continents, take the reader into their experience of hiraeth, the longing for something more, lost, imagined, or just out of reach. Homelands left behind, childhoods relived, journeys not taken, long-lost secrets unearthed, dreams fulfilled when least expected. Honest, heartfelt, and deeply human, Hiraeth is not only about absence, it is also about beauty, hope, and transformation. Let these stories linger, and speak to your own deep longing.
