Please listen to our latest episode of the The Lebanese Physicians Podcast with Pauline Mouhanna Karroum, a journalist, novelist, and avid writer, who immigrated to the Springfield, Illinois area in the United States Midwest for her husband's medical training. In this episode, we discuss her novel "Elle habitait a Sandwich", or "She live in Sandwich", the story of Therese, a new immigrant to Sandwich, IL. Her novel describes in detail what goes through the minds of immigrants, especially hailing from Lebanon, as they start the process of adaptation in their new homeland. It delves deeply into the connections with their home country, Lebanon, and their struggles to form their new identity in their new countries.
We hope you enjoy this discussion.
