Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned. Large inscription on inside half-title page.

Born in Sydney's western suburbs in the 1950s, Geraldine Brooks longs to discover the vivid places where she believes history and culture are made. Penpals from the Middle East, France and America offer her the window she craves on life beyond Australia's isolated backyard.

Twenty years later, and worlds away from her sheltered girlhood, Brooks is an award-winning foreign correspondent covering wars and famines. Still intrigued by the foreign correspondents of her girlhood, she embarks on a human treasure hunt.

This is an intimate, moving and often humorous memoir of growing up in Australia in the 1960s that speaks directly to the heart of everyone who ever yearned to become a citizen of the world. (back cover)
