Produktinformationen zu „Making Myself at Home in the World (ePub)“
This book is the story of a well-traveled and well-informed American expatriate woman, Sybilla Green Dorros. It's recounted in chapters - one for each place she lived - starting in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and ending in San Diego, California. While the bookend chapters are set in the United States, most of the locations are global. Four of them involved assignments with her family of origin (her parents and the earlier ones with her two sisters): Paris, Léopoldville, Accra, and Casablanca. Two were on her own: Rome and her first stint in Geneva. The last two, and the longest sojourns spanning nearly a quarter century, were in Manila and back in Geneva with her family by marriage (her husband and three children). Each relocation - to disparate countries at different stages of her life - presented new sets of challenges. This book reveals how she tackled these challenges and how she felt - and continues to feel - at home almost anywhere but with nowhere to truly call home.
