“The Allure of Elsewhere is a beautiful unraveling of family history through self-exploration. Just as a winding road reveals its secrets one at a time, Karen Babine takes us through the twists and turns of a complex genealogy and her own place within it. She weaves the story of her chosen solo lifestyle with generations prior who lived the opposite while examining how their history lives not just in our memories, but in our bones.”

"For the author, food sustains like a lifeline or even a bloodline. . . . [Babine] continues to navigate her way through extraordinary challenges with ordinary comforts, finding poetry in the everyday. Reading this quiet book should provide the sort of balm for those in similar circumstances." -Kirkus
