Alice Steinbach creëert verhalen die duiken in de diepe betekenis die verborgen ligt in alledaagse gebeurtenissen, gedreven door een persoonlijke band met haar onderwerpen. Haar schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door een lyrische proza-stijl en een scherp inzicht in de menselijke psyche. Met haar werk beoogt ze lezers te verbinden met de universaliteit van menselijke ervaringen, waarbij ze de complexiteit van relaties en de zoektocht naar betekenis onderzoekt. Haar proza nodigt uit tot reflectie over hoe we schoonheid en begrip kunnen vinden in de wereld om ons heen.
In this humorous and heartfelt book, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Alice Steinbach embarks on a global journey of self-discovery, exploring her passions for learning, traveling, and writing. She takes diverse courses, from French cooking to Japanese arts, while connecting with people and embracing the joys of being a student again.
American journalist Alice Steinbach took a year off to live in five cities - Paris, Venice, Milan, London and Oxford - when she realized she had entered a new phase of life. Her sons had graduated from college; she had been divorced for a long time; she was a successful journalist. While there was nothing really wrong with her life, she felt restless. Could she live independently of her family, her friends, her career? Steinbach searches for the answer to this provocative question firstly in Paris, where she finds a soul mate in a Japanese man; in Milan, where she befriends a young woman about to marry, and in the evocative cities of Oxford and Venice. Her trip is peppered with accounts of the exotic strangers she meets, her reflections on life and the observational postcards she wrote to herself during her year away.
