  Letters from the Edge is a powerful collection in which women home in on the nuances and resonances of everyday life and culture in twelve remote locations. Each author s collected letters provide unique insight into what life is like in places we can often only dream about visiting, such as the frozen steppes of Mongolia; the sprawling, hot hustle of Lagos, Nigeria; and the rainforested mountain slopes of Colombia.The book contains brief biographies on each author and profiles each country s political situation at the time of writing and up to the present day. It is punctuated throughout with black-and-white illustrations.
