Now I Climb Rocks
2019 – epubli
How much of who we are is where we come from? How do we give our children their cultural inheritance when we are so far removed from it? And is it possible to learn an entire language in a birth prep class? In this collection of essays, Liv Hambrett dives into her own experiences of pregnancy and the early years of motherhood as they played out in a country and language not her own. Poignant, funny and personal, Now I Climb Rocks explores how raising children in another country can make us question our very ideas of belonging and becoming.
Available in paperback and ebook via epubli and Amazon Germany, USA, Australia and UK.
If you’re in Germany, you can also buy the paperback through Thalia, Buchkatalog.de, Amazon, or Hugendubel.
The ebook is available on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo and Geniallokal.de.

Heimat
2016 – epubli
Comprising the first five years worth of essays and blog posts from my German adventure, Heimat is a collection of stories, ideas, and meditations on all of the dust you kick up when you move countries, when plans and expectations go out the window. It is about relationships; with countries, with people, with ourselves. It is about the Germans, their beautiful country and being quite foreign within it. It is about having a Heimat and finding another on the other side of the world.
Buy Heimat here in paperback or hardback. Available in paperback and ebook via epubli and Amazon Germany, USA, Australia and UK.
