This looks like a book that I would enjoy reading. I enjoy reading about different people and their countries.
The fact this is comprised of short stories, including those about women, I can use them in my multi-cultural lessons as I try to get away from dry facts and find works that teach empathy along with cultural differences.
This looks like it would be a great book club read with lots to discuss.

I've always liked learning about other cultures. One of my favorite classes in college was World cultures. That love never died.
