As a young girl in a working-class neighborhood of Sydney, Australia, Geraldine Brooks longed to discover the places where history happens and culture comes from, so she enlisted pen pals who offered her a window on adolescence in the Middle East, Europe, and America.

Twenty years later, Brooks, an award-winning foreign correspondent, embarked on a human treasure hunt to find her pen friends. She found men and women whose lives had been shaped by war and hatred, by fame and notoriety, and by the ravages of mental illness.

Intimate, moving, and often humorous, Foreign Correspondence speaks to the unquiet heart of every girl who has ever yearned to become a woman of the world.

Enjoyed

Love the epistolary connection and historical part. Did not care to read the same social Justice inserts.

The similarities in Australian and USA society.

I enjoyed the g story and the presentation of this remarkable life and her peaceful acceptance of each stage. Ms. Brooks, in everything I have read has offered so much pleasure and insight in her beautiful prose.

I loved the courage and love of truly good family life.

I like the premise of this story. A little one befriends acquaintances and begins several pen pal correspondences.
Each of these expanded her world, enriched her sphere and molded her character. What I did not enjoy were the voluminous rambles about depression and eating disorders. I was even confused, for a bit, as to which person format had the eating disorder. The pen pal? the narrator? or both? This dribbly dialogue seemed never ending.
What I did enjoy was the circle back to catch up with the pen pals decades later.

Too Wordy

Disclaimer: I gave up after a third
The third I did read only described the life of an ordinary young Australian woman, without any special insights to make it worthwhile.
I tried it because I enjoyed Ms. Brook's "People of the Book".

the review synopsis does not reflect the book
