About On Coming Home

'The declamatory return; a homeland as a "wearying enigma". This all makes sense to me. The New Zealand that's home to me may be a place of sheep and rugby and number-eight wire, whatever that is, but it's also none of those things. Am I still a New Zealander?'Award-winning writer Paula Morris confronts long-standing fears of what it means to return home. Is ambition and adventure being traded for a 'forever home' of commitments and compromises? Will she still belong? And will the belonging impose its own restrictions? Morris seeks answers in the words of writer exiles as she narrates her own return to New Zealand. Now a settler not a visitor, she questions incisively the very idea of 'belonging'.
