An Encounter with Miranda Alhama: Identity, Roots, and the Journey of Mestizo.

Every story begins with a question. Some seek answers; others simply invite us to look within ourselves. In this interview, we meet Miranda Alhama to talk about *Mestizo*, a novel that explores universal themes such as identity, belonging, cultural roots, and the journey through which each person finds and shapes their own voice in the world. Throughout the conversation, the author shares the origins of the book, the creative process behind its writing, the birth of its characters, and the reflections that run through the story. It is an honest dialogue that goes beyond literature and touches on deeply human questions: the need to be seen and understood, the relationship with our origins, and the search for a place where we can truly feel at home. A conversation that reminds us how stories can become bridges between different experiences, and how literature still has the power to create spaces for listening, understanding, and meaningful dialogue. We hope you enjoy the interview.
