Diifferent but enjoyable

Very different from most other stories. The story had components of a thriller and a romance, but is mainly about psychology, about a very troubled young woman finding and developing parts of herself during a trip a abroad. I think the narrator fits the story perfectly, just don't expect a quick paced detective. In this story it is about the journey, nog the finish line.

slow but good

Not a typical espionage thriller, but a good, introspective book. not action packed. This sounds more negative than i intended, I enjoyed it a lot .

Story was such a wonderful surprise

This one is apply named. Quite a trip that reminded me of the best parts of myself and those around me. Slow to start for a good reason.

Not her best

This book was very introspective to the point that it bogged down the story. I usually enjoy Dorothy Gilman’s stand-alone novels more than her Mrs. P novels because they’re deeper explorations but this was deeper than I found enjoyable.

Disappointed

I also really enjoyed the other books by this author but the main character in this one was a bummer. Plus the ending itself was sub par. Oh well.
