Reading GO AND COME BACK is a life-changing experience! When you're done, nothing looks the same. I for one am grateful to Ms. Abelove for opening my eyes. Through her, I saw our world, our developed modern world, through fresh eyes. I learned that we're selfish, even when we mean to be generous. I met people who understand utterly how to accept what comes. I learned from the inside about people completely different from me--not idealized, but revealed, graces and warts. And I learned through a wonderful story that sometimes made me sad, but more often made me laugh and gasp in happy amazement.
Great book!

I loved this book! I initially bought the book for my niece, but as I was flipping through it I got interested and ended up reading the entire novel. It's a beautiful story about a young girl's experiences with two anthropologists who come to visit her village. It was amazing to me how Abelove presented the story without any of the condescension that is so prevalent in books about more "primitive" cultures. The fact that the story was written all through the point of view of the girl gave it a fresh and unusual angle that I don't think I've found in other books.
