Review:
I was just in awe while reading this book because of its beautiful destinations. The author has done an excellent job of giving the readers a detailed description of her travel. I felt like I was traveling with her while reading the book. My favorite destination out of the three was Rome. It was mesmerizing reading about Roman architecture, history, culture, and mostly about its food. I was practically drooling while reading about the detailed description given of all the Roman delicacies.
However, apart from its beautiful destinations, the reader also gets an insight into the author’s thoughtfulness. I loved the way how she so frank about her feelings in the book. Her every thought was vibrating through the book. It was like speaking to an old friend the experience did feel personal. The most beautiful thing about the book was the transition in the book. Along with exploring the various destination, the author explores herself too. The book gives out a strong message of self – improvisation irrespective of age. Though light-hearted book subtly gives some useful life lessons. At the end of the book, you come out feeling happy and pleasant. This book is 100% worth your time & money, so give it a try.
Rating:
I would give this book a full five stars for its beautiful writing. And for the incredible experience.
