Praise for “Displaced Persons”:

“A treasure of expertly crafted dramas that probe the eternal themes of belonging and the quest for meaningful relationships.”

“Deliciously complex character-driven stories that explore exile, diaspora, parenthood, and marriage, often with a sharp sense of humor and an emotional wallop.”
