Reading is a journey - an opportunity to explore the unknown. When I read, a book must meet this expectation, transporting me to different parts of the globe and acquainting me with the arts of a foreign culture. Two examples of this which I am currently reading are A Girl Made of Dust by and The Calligrapher's Daughter by .
A Girl Made of Dust is a story about an eight-year-old girl, maturing into an adult during the civil war in the 1980s, in a small village of Lebanon near Beirut. The Calligrapher's Daughter portrays the life of a young girl growing up in the homogeneous society of South Korea in the early twentieth century. It is my hope that Morning Calm will too enrich readers with such cultural appreciation.
