Without a doubt, one of the most recurring themes in this chapter is ‘the feeling of home’. Throughout the excerpt, the narrator is moving from place to place and gets invited to people’s houses but still manages to find a place that she feels comfortable enough to call ‘home’. She moves from home in London to a new life in Paris. Although she is new to Paris and isn’t very used to life there, she has a good time and enjoys herself enough to call the place ‘home’. One reason why she may have not felt much comfort and the sense of ‘home’ in London was due to the war. I’ve experienced myself that comfort, home, togetherness and family are very important in times of war. Two summers ago during the war in Israel, when people had to take cover from rockets in the streets, they’d have to sometimes run into someone’s home that they didn’t know and may have felt uncomfortable in. Nonetheless, everyone at this time was welcoming and took anyone in that needed help at the time. The feeling of home could be felt anywhere thanks to the generousness of the warm people.
