House of Stone

The act of restoring the house feels symbolic of resilience and hope. I wonder if this personal project was a way for the author to process the wider political upheaval.

The memoir paints such intimate portraits that I found myself wondering how much of these stories are universal, regardless of cultural differences.

Balancing personal and political narratives can be tricky, and I’m curious about the process behind structuring these layers to create a cohesive story.
