 Bookstore in Zurich Writers spring from a common soil, enriched by all the beautiful, precise, and rousing writing that has come before and that continues to grow around them. In 2011, I co-founded a writing group for expat women in Oslo, Norway.

People who choose to immigrate to a new country are an adventurous, open-minded breed. They are excellent observers, watchfulness being a key to survival. And they are also exceptionally generous, wanting to share the information they gather with other expats. This makes for some terrific storytelling. ❧ |
