SYNOPSIS
When her husband of a dozen years walks out in a huff,
Caroline Sommers walks out too – to Europe, with her kids after
impulsively selling her minivan for travel money. Tired of being the
perfect wife, she escapes to rediscover herself, and possibly rekindle
the unrequited love of a Frenchman from her college days. While
shepherding her kids from London to Scotland then Paris to Provence, she
finds herself at a crossroads. Does she choose love, or lust, in the
arms of a European man, or should she try again with the father of her
children and the man she truly loved, once?

My Review:
*Copy provided for an honest opinion
There were so many aspects of this book that I fell in love
with. First, I identified with the main
character. I also have a terrible
passion for traveling but have not been able to do much traveling lately. Just like Caroline, I am absorbed with taking
care of my family and put my needs behind.
I lived vicariously through Caroline and her story. I sympathized and empathized with her and her
need to re-establish herself as a woman, mom and wife. I loved the very human and real interactions
that these characters had with one another.
They felt like real people living real lives and I was witnessing them
on their journey. I found the authors
writing style to be so engaging that I lost track of time and delved into
Caroline and her family’s world. That
this story takes place in France was the icing on the cake. I’ve visited France many years ago, and plan
to go back. The author’s vivid descriptions
made me feel like I was back in France and seeing it all again.
Aside from relating to Caroline and her station in life, I
thought that she was such a great character.
She was complex and imperfect and very human. Aspect of this story felt like “Eat, Pray,
Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert and “Wild” by Cherly Strayed. Just like these women, Caroline had to find
herself and her way. There definitely
many bumps in the road, and some temptation, but she was ultimately able to achieve her identity. I highly recommend this book to really
anyone. Anyone that loves to travel or
anyone that has had the yearning to find explore and find. I wanted to hug Caroline and cry with her!
This was a fantastic adventure filled with laughter, sadness and fulfillment.
