Product Description

Review
"Geraldine Brooks' talent is unique: she combines the hardest-hitting reporting with a true writer's sensitivity and an empathy rare for anyone. In "Foreign Correspondence" she trains her lucid gaze on the turmoil of female adolescence and by doing so brings us a dazzling range of insights that extend beyond introspection to raise questions about national identity in an increasingly global culture."--Naomi Wolf, author of "Promiscuities"

"From the Hardcover edition."

Synopsis
After finding her childhood pen pals' letters, the foreign correspondent for the Wall Street Journal embarks on a treasure hunt to locate distant friends and memories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 25 May 1999
By A Customer
Before I begin, I must admit that I live right next door to Geraldine in Virginia. Knowing her as a person probably has colored the way I read her book, but, honestly, I thought the book was wonderful. I read it all in one sitting because I could not put it down. It is interesting to see how writing letters as a child developed into her career, writing from faraway places for newspapers. I highly recommend it.
