There were several things that drew me to this book; first my own mother is slipping away from me with a dreadful disease - Alzheimers. I am trying to make "peace" with the fact that there are so many things we were never able to do and now she doesn't even know who I am. I enjoyed this book on so many levels; the exploration of the mother/daughter relationship, making peace with one another despite many differences which existed between them, the clear descriptions of destination and experiences (hilarious at times- elephant eats passport) & as I thoroughly enjoy travel and never had the opportunity with my own mother to travel very much in US let alone to international destinations.
I think this book would be interesting to anyone who is a daughter or a mother as well as anyone who has an interest in relationships and travel. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. It was a good one. In fact, I ordered Mia's memoir "Come Back" as I enjoyed this read so much! Thank you!
