Description
Geraldine Brooks' Foreign Correspondence is a poignant and humorous account of her journey to discover the lives of pen pals she met as a young girl.
As a teenager in Sydney, Australia, Brooks was fascinated by the world beyond her neighborhood. She enlisted pen friends who offered her a glimpse into adolescence in the Middle East, Europe, and America. Twenty years later, Brooks embarked on a quest to reconnect with these individuals, discovering men and women whose lives had been shaped by war, fame, mental illness, and more.
This intimate and moving memoir speaks to the universal desire of young girls to become women of the world, exploring the complexities of human experience through the stories of those Brooks encountered along the way.
