Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World by Rita Golden Gelman

2.0

2.5 stars. Interesting story of one woman's post-divorce journey. I understand that this book is one woman's reflection of her OWN personal journey moving from country to country and living in different cultures BUT I could not relate with the author because I saw her as quite self-centered (shows up with no warning in villages in countries she travels to and expects to live there - I think that is a pompous and disrespectful way to travel on purpose, her story of flying into a random village in West Papua Indonesian for a few days and then chartering a flight to get out was ridiculous) and I was annoyed by the writing style - so many paragraphs start with "I" so it often reads like a list - I did this, then I did this, then I thought this, then I ate this - rather than an engaging story.
