An American woman escaping a messy divorce and heart breaking love affair decides to spend a year travelling. This is the chronicle of that year in Italy, an Indian ashram and Ubud in Bali. Much as I am wary of these ‘year in’ books, she’s a great writer and her observations about Italy were so close to my own that I felt I could have written what she said. She’s incredibly open and honest about her feelings, able to laugh at herself and is in fact quite a likeable character. Read it for the Italian section even if the hippy new age feel of the ashram and Ubud sections is going to drive you crazy. 3 stars.
