After Bondi, Where Is Home?
Wendy crosses an ocean to leave behind a life in China that no longer fits. In Sydney, she reunites with her long-distance boyfriend, Jack, armed with shaky English and a stubborn hope that she can start again. Over a year of spring squalls, bright salt summers, soft autumn light, and crisp blue winters, the city teaches her—street by street, word by word—how to belong. As Wendy stumbles through new jobs, neighbors, and the tender friction of love far from home, she learns to make peace with herself. With Jack, she shares nights as romantic as they are nerve-tingling, the kind that ask whether “home” is a place, a person, or a choice she has to make on her own.
