"The Waiting Place: When Home Is Lost and a New One Not Yet Found" by Anna Bosch Miralpeix explores the profound experience of displacement and the emotional landscape of finding oneself in liminal spaces. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Miralpeix delves into the challenges of leaving behind familiar comforts while navigating the uncertainties of what comes next. The narrative captures the feelings of loss, vulnerability, and hope as she seeks to redefine home. Ultimately, it’s a poignant meditation on the resilience of the human spirit and the journey toward belonging, embracing both the pain of waiting and the promise of new beginnings.
