Book Reviews of You've Got Mail from Kazakhstan
Book Review: Golden senior adventures - try it yourself!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a charming little book! This couple took time out of retirement to jump out of their comfortable suburban lives and head to Kazakhstan to offer volunteer assistance to budding small businesses. The tales of their adventures are touching, funny, and heartwarming. It's a sort of study abroad for the golden years model - more seniors should try it! A wonderful read and an inspiring story!
Summary of You've Got Mail from Kazakhstan
This collection of family e-mail correspondence reveals the fears and tribulations of a mother and father relocated to a nation and region far from the suburban culture from which they had come. The observations encompass helicopter trips over an Asian mountain range, opera, ballet, the International Ladies Society in the capital city of Almaty, and an unforgettable six-day trip on the historic Silk Road of Central Asia to the ancient homeland of Tamerlane in Samarkand and Bukhara in central Uzbekistan. These letters reveal a couple who became experts on the integration of an emerging, isolated nation into a new international business community.General Books
