Description
I'd wondered about my mother all my life -- what she looked like, how she smelled and sounded and acted. Lately this wondering had grown to encompass a curiosity about the kind of people she herself came from, because they were my family, too, after all, even though I knew nothing about them. I'd no idea whether they were loud or soft-spoken, funny or boring, preferred chocolate to vanilla, if they liked movies over books or the other way around. I wondered whether any of them had ever done show more anything magnificent in their lives, or if they were the kind of folks who were satisfied with just getting by. These things were important -- knowing them would help me to know myself, and the only way that would happen was if I went and looked for her.With all his possessions on his motorcycle, Billy Mann sets off on a cross-country odyssey from New York to Santa Fe in search of a mother who deserted him long ago. What Billy discovers, however, is a life rich with possibility -- the chance for love, friendship, and, finally, a family to call his own. show lessTags

Fristående fortsättning på Eddies oäkting. Jag har inte läst oäkting, när jag började läsa Någonstans Söderut så viste jag inte om att det är en fortsättning. Jag fastnade i boken, tyckte om beskrivningar av fattiga latin amerikaner, och många lite udda personbeskrivningar.
Detta är försts bok jag läser av författaren , men jag läser gärna fler. Inte så att jag nu kommer börja söka rätt på hans böcker men om jag ser en så kommer jag köpa den.

This is the final installment in the coming of age of Billy Mann. Not
quite as good as the first book, but a rather satisfying tying up of all
the loose ends with a few new threads thrown in to keep things
interesting.

5o cents!
