This compilation of short stories written by expat women is entertaining, inspiring, funny, and poignant. Exploring cultural idiosyncrasies through these stories forgivingly reminds the reader of her/his own faux pas in foreign lands.
Ultimately, each story is surprisingly varied in its endpoint, but they share a nostalgia for the experience of living abroad, especially for the first time. This would make a great gift for someone about to move abroad, study abroad, or even someone considering it. For those who already have, it certainly is a lovely opportunity to reflect on these experiences...or even write about them! |
