If you were given the option, would you choose security or adventure? Would you choose to belong, or would you choose to stand out? Safe and Sorry features a cast of characters wrestling with the meaning of safety in a world that trends toward chaos. Estelle starts her story at the bottom of society with nothing to lose. As she works her way steadily up, she discovers she is now afraid to take risks, terrified that she’ll lose what she has worked so hard for. As she moves from city to city, enduring brief stints of homelessness along the way, she begins to question the merit of a stable life. In the meantime, the world goes on around her. Bondoni takes the reader from a seaside village in Syria to the rural plains of Argentina to the humble streets of Ohio. An ancient language dies with an old woman; a young zealot questions his family’s rigid beliefs; an Australian physician succumbs to her violent instincts. The lives of doctors, businessmen, terrorists, and serial killers are seamlessly and expertly intertwined as they coexist in the periphery of Estelle’s life — all struggling to strike the right balance between familiarity and freedom.
