An exciting collection of travel memoirs by the publisher of The House on Via Gombito and Tanzania on Tuesday.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A trip abroad can be an exploration of the self as well as of the host country, as this anthology of travel stories proves. The stories explore what it means to be an American woman abroad. As the writers examine cultural expectations and stereotypes?both theirs and those of the people they meet?they develop an appreciation of other countries, new respect for America, and feelings of sisterhood with foreign women. Readers who have been abroad will relate; those who have not will get to "experience" something new. Though a few of the stories fall flat, most are excellent, making this a collection definitely worth reading. Recommended for all travel collections.?Kathleen Shanahan, American Univ. Lib., Washington, DC

From the Publisher
All of these stories and essays . . . describe in rich, vivid detail, the encounters of these remarkable and highly individual writers with cultures from which they learn in many surprising ways what it means to be at home in the world and what it means to be American in an often strange, sometimes exotic, sometimes ordinary place.
