A Woman's Asia by Faith Adele, Pamela Logan, Lynn Ferrin, Jan Morris, Alison Wright, and many more
This is a collection of 35 different stories written by North American women about their travels in Asia. The authors range in age from 17 to 83, and the areas visited include China, Vietnam, India, Laos, Burma, Japan, Nepal, Hong Kong, Thailand, Tibet, Taiwan, Mongolia, Malaysia, Turkey, Korea, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Cambodia, Singapore, Bali and Bhutan. It is no surprise then that the stories are varied, covering tales of adventure, episodes of self-discovery, intellectual and spiritual explorations, and in one case, even romance. This reviewer read it on her way to Japan and Thailand and found her enthusiasm and sense of adventure heightened by many of the stories. One gains the sense that travel is not just an opportunity to see and connect with other cultures, but also to revive oneself and that it may even serve as a catalyst for change. These stories would be of most interest to those who have already taken,or are contemplating a trip to Asia. Reviewed by C. Prevost
