Welcome to The Wandering Book Collector with host Michelle Jana Chan. This is a series of conversations with writers exploring what's informed their books and their lives around themes of movement, memory, sense of place, borders, identity, belonging and home.
In this edition, I speak with the journalist and writer Rebecca Mead to discuss her latest book — Home/Land: A Memoir of Departure and Return. It recounts her personal to and fro, leaving her childhood home in England, moving to New York, and then returning 30 years later to London, this time with her husband and son.
