While I did not enjoy Gelman's writing style--it was a little too sparse and distant at times--I did enjoy sharing the journey with her. Her travel stories were interesting and I admire her for having the guts to live her life as a nomad. I admire her for living an extraordinary life and sharing it with the world.
If you liked Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love you will like Tales of a Female Nomad, especially if you thought Gilbert was whiny and annoying. Gelman is neither, and while Gilbert's novel is more fluffy and written, Gelman sticks to the facts. She doesn't exaggerate or embellish and this is perhaps what makes the book so refreshing.
