Foreign Correspondence: A Pen Pal's Journey from Down Under to All Over by Geraldine Brooks

4.0

I picked this up because I, too, had a number of pen pals as a kid. Unlike me, Brooks tracked all of hers down. This memoir weaves in tales of Brooks' childhood and travels with discovery of her father's past and her penpal's fates. Heartening and melancholy in turn and a quick, compelling read.
