This week we feature two Australian-Turkish writers, who ruminate on the topic of belonging, home and immigration. In their distinctive creative ways, Ela Pinar and Eda Gunaydin unpack the confusion of feeling homesick for a land that was never truly ‘home’ to begin with. 1.10 - In This Version of Home First, Ela tells the story of her journey to Turkey, a place she does and doesn't call home.
