This book is an exploration of the conversations Maciej had with his parents growing up as an immigrant in Scotland. The conversations are centred around the experience of having to translate everyday situations for his parents, from their arrival in Scotland to his departure from his family home to university, and how these conversations have progressed over time from being conducted in-person to being largely through online messages.

Nuances within the conversations have been reflected through the way this book has been designed. The grid used throughout the book allows for the text to be positioned in a way which reflects the time passed during the conversations as well as the things that were said but the reader cannot directly see on the page. The typeface allows to showcase the progression from in-person conversations to online ones through its subtle transition from serif into sans serif. Images and printed ephemera are scattered throughout the book as a means of connecting the reader and immersing them in the time period in which the conversations are taking place.
