Best Selling Books by Jenny Cooper

Thirteen Australian women have composed an atypical collection of travel writings which cover a period of more than 50 years. Some visited Mexico several times for work and/or pleasure; some visited by chance and chose to remain; some returned to stay after a long absence, pulled back by something Mexican which they certainly feel strongly. Not all their experiences are pleasant, but the outcome is almost inevitably life affirming. Discover a different Mexico through the words - reminiscences, letters and poems - and images of these Australian women. Prose and poetry.
