As Andrew McCarthy wrote in The New York Times Book Review about the previous volume, “In story after story, the refreshing absence of bluster and bravado, coupled with the optimism necessary for bold travel, create a unifying narrative that testifies to the personal value and cultural import of leaving the perceived safety of home and setting out into the wider world.” The Best Women’s Travel Writing, Volume 13: True Stories from Around the World is the latest collection in the award-winning series that invites you to ride shotgun alongside intrepid female nomads as they wander the globe discovering new places, faces, and facets of themselves. The essays in this volume are as diverse as the destinations, exploring themes of kindness, transformation, nature, friendship, family, strength, and resilience. In The Best Women’s Travel Writing, Volume 13, you will:- Embrace contradictions on the late-night tango floors of Argentina
- Splash toward a sexual awakening in the depths of a French swimming pool
- Hike the ups and downs of an active volcano and a marriage in Sicily
- Learn to surf and face cultural stereotypes in Hawaii
- Experience a different relationship with grief during Day of the Dead in Mexico
- Uncover the nuances of hair braiding in Nigeria and Morocco
- Explore the joys and challenges of motherhood in Qatar’s singing sand dunes
- …and much more.
