Quote #4

"Johan Schuloff was a banker in a small but prosperous town near the Austrian border in 1938. He had a lovely daughter. A beautiful wife. A nice home." (14.61)

Mr. Schuloff here was living the American dream. Well, we guess it was the Austrian dream, too. But a home doesn't necessarily mean security, especially not in times of war. The Nazis took all of that away.

Quote #5

Kat's only home was a brownstone in New York, and the man who ruled that household had strictly forbidden her from doing what she was doing. (20.1)

The Romani heist is a big deal for Kat in many ways. In a way, Kat is risking her home by doing it. She's afraid that Uncle Eddie will cast her out of the one place she loves. Sad.

Quote #6

[Kat] wanted to go home. Wherever that was. (22.1)

Knowing Uncle Eddie would disapprove of her actions, Kat feels lost. Although Kat normally feels at home at Uncle Eddie's, perhaps it isn't her true home. Her home should be hers unconditionally, not dependent on whether or not its owner approves of her actions. Right?
