Lisière. Un Voyage aux confins de l'Europe

Kassabova's blending of history and memoir creates a unique narrative. I'm curious what motivated her to tell this story this way.

The way the author captures the emotional weight of borders felt very visceral. How did others connect with the sense of separation and belonging?

The historical context enriches the memoir, but I'm wondering how much was directly from Kassabova's own encounters versus extensive background work.
