This is one of my favorite travel writing books. Steinbach really takes the reader into her stories, and makes you feel as though you're there with her. I especially love the unique way in which she recorded memories by sending herself postcards. This one's on my keeper shelf! The sequel, Educating Alice, was good as well, but didn't keep me as captivated as Without Reservation.
