What a wonderful reception for I am home. from the GO Book Club in Shawnee, Kansas! Because of the time difference between the Kansas City area and Barcelona, I was unable to appear live so I recorded this video in which I answered questions these readers sent me.
I could probably write another book to answer each of the following:
This book has a different format and flow than most books. What were your thoughts when creating the structure of the book?
Why did you write the book the way you did? Aka not in chronological order of how things happened…
As I read, I felt you had such inner peace and calmness even in the midst of turmoil. Any thoughts or tips on how you achieved this?
Do you think you will move again? Is there one place that will feel like home and where you will eventually want to stay or is home what you make it?
When you move to different countries, what do you miss about other countries? What commonalities or differences do you see in different countries and what do you miss most?
You said you think about silence as voice, as a choice, as a speechless voice or unspeakable silence. Can you explain what you mean by that? It’s brilliant. I’m curious how you came to that conclusion?
Where are your favorite places you’ve ever visited?
Again, you can link to the video with the answers here.
If you’d like me to appear at your book club, just send an e-mail to welcomewonder@mariannemaili.com .
