The Best Women's Travel Writing 2007 : True Stories from Around the World Paperback / softback
Edited by Lucy McCauley
Part of the Best Women's Travel Writing series
Paperback / softback
Description
Since the publication of A Woman's World in 1995, Travelers' Tales has been the recognized leader in women's travel literature.
This title presents stimulating, inspiring, and just plain wild adventures from women who have traveled to the ends of the earth to discover new places, peoples, and facets of themselves.
The common threads connecting these stories are a woman's perspective; fresh, lively storytelling; and compelling narrative that makes the reader laugh, weep, wish she was there, or be glad she wasn't.
Contributors include such luminaries as Frances Mayes, Barbara Kingsolver, and Diane Johnson.
Kathleen Spivak's "From the Window," a bittersweet, beautifully written memoir of lost love in Paris, typifies the book.
The points of view and perspectives are both personal and global, and the themes are as eclectic as in all of this series, including stories that encompass spiritual growth, hilarity and misadventure, high adventure, romance, solo journeys, stories of service to humanity, family travel, and encounters with exotic cuisine.
