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.
Heimat is a collection of essays, thoughts, and experiences written by an Australian woman who has somewhat unexpectedly found herself making a life in Germany. Living in Germany myself, I enjoyed reading about shared experiences and observations that will serve any reader -- whether they live, have lived, or don't live in Germany -- interested in getting a more complete picture of what life in Germany is like.
