There was a whole bunch of "then I went from there to here and stayed with x and we ate y", which, to be fair, is what one might expect from a novel like this, but. With heart and humour, Elise explores the thrill of taking risks and putting your trust in total strangers, and learns some home truths along the way. I've been meaning to read this book for ages (after reading a chapter in "The Kindness of Strangers") but like many things not got around to it .The only reason that I cannot give it a higher rating is that it has a vagueness about it where you can tell that it has been written a few years after said adventure has taken place. For the most part, though, the English, both men and women, are afflicted by such a morbid decay of their libido that it has always puzzled the rest of the world how the English manage to reproduce themselves at all. It felt like a fairly immature and naive adventure by someone who was young, free and single and had the privilege to just up and go. Reading this book at the moment and finding it very satisfying and up there with Passage to Juneau - by the same author and in a similar vein. In fairness the things that annoyed me were classic twenty-something behaviour, I just think I’m a bit old to appreciate it now!
