As Sara’s mother dies, her daughter is in bed with a new obsession. She’s wracked with guilt, but the persistence of need, the demands of the body, refuse to take a dignified pause for the observance of another body leaving this world. If one of the projects of growing up is being defeated by the limits of control we have over ourselves and others, the frustration of trying and failing to be understood, then Sara’s loss, her lovers, and her longterm girlfriend are her passage from 28 and casting about to a little bit older and a little bit more sorted out. If love is “more like a quagmire than anything else—sometimes sombre, sometimes blinded by light,” then X Is Where I Am is one young woman’s fractious, hopeful, attempt to give in to it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52608556237073,"sku":"NGR9781917260206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53094588514577,"sku":"NIN9781917260206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53401558515985,"sku":"CIN1917260202G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53461176254737,"sku":"GOR014932382","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53478288490769,"sku":"GOR014940206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53503706366225,"sku":"GOR014950303","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781917260206.jpg?v=1761344239"},{"product_id":"hispanic-voices-hispanic-health-educators-speak-out-book-sara-torres-9780763711092","title":"Hispanic Voices: Hispanic Health Educators Speak Out","description":".","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53186036629777,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186036662545,"sku":"NIN9780763711092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780763711092.jpg?v=1772374652"},{"product_id":"pensando-en-ti-cd-0660355462627","title":"Pensando en Ti","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53417719660817,"sku":"CINB002B9DNCAVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/660355462627.jpg?v=1776363125"},{"product_id":"el-pensamiento-erotico-erotic-thought-book-sara-torres-9788410352186","title":"El El pensamiento erótico \/ Erotic Thought","description":"\u003cb\u003eTras el éxito de \u003ci\u003eLo que hay\u003c\/i\u003e y \u003ci\u003eLa seducción\u003c\/i\u003e, vuelve Sara Torres con un ensayo que busca la manera de pensar fuera del binarismo heterosexual, una indagación en el gozo que se aleja de una fantasía identitaria basada en un combate entre opuestos.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e «Una diosa.
