Spanning 150 years of Welsh women&;s experiences living abroad, this compelling collection ventures from southern Europe to South America, Russia to Australia, and east Africa to China. Welsh women sleep in trees in Corsica, escape Stalinist purges in Moscow, and curse head-leaping queue jumpers in China. In Eritrea they concoct a cactus fruit cure for travel sickness and in Serbia they learn how to make a traffic policeman very happy. Through their various experiences the writers ask themselves Who is a Welsh woman, what is she? What is &;abroad&; and how do you know you&;re there? and What is home? A rich celebration of different cultural experiences, this is a highly readable and entertaining anthology.
