According to Pico Iyer, home for those who live abroad, sometimes from birth, is really a work in progress. They have one home associated with their parents, another with their partners, a third connected with the place they are in, a fourth with the place they dream of being in, and many more besides. Their whole life, he says, will be spent taking pieces of many different places and putting them together into a stained glass whole. They constantly add upgrades and improvements and corrections. What comes out is an almost unprecedented blend of cultures.
