The book has an interesting view about a writer's way of spending a year- getting over a broken marriage and a bad break up. It is dramatic at some point and marvelous at another. Nevertheless it is about a tale of someone's difficult part of life. It was like a personal diary sort of tailored then and there eventually for publishing. There is nothing special with the story. But the writer has done a better job at expressing every simple thing that mattered along the way. Sure, the places are exotic and I enjoyed quite a few characters. But her journey was remarkable that makes this piece of story worth sharing.(less)
