Review & Description
What is home?
How do we cope with feelings of foreignness?
What is it that defines us as humans?
What do we need to feel at home?
These are some of the questions Jutta Heitland explores in her book
“So You Are Free ... Making It Home”.
Jutta Heitland was born in Austria,
grew up in Germany and is living currently in New Zealand.
In the book, she reflects on what it is that we need to find our place in life.
She approaches the issue by exploring aspects of life such
as curiosity, envy, pressure, friendship, love and death.
Using her own story as the starting point,
her questions about life are then followed by interviews she conducted
with twelve people from different countries.
They talk about their view of life with great frankness,
so the abstract ideas in the first half are illustrated by practical examples
and personal insights.
“So You Are Free ... Making It Home” is a book about life.
It is not only an enjoyable read,
but will also strike a chord with anyone on their own quest for answers.
The book is intended to stimulate discussion, questioning
and ongoing self-reflection.
