Robin EH.'s Reviews > The Thing about Prague: How I gave it all up for a new life in Europe's most eccentric city

I love armchair traveling, especially with the types of memoirs where people actually live somewhere, at least for awhile, because you get a more realistic picture of a place. Rachael Weiss has a fun, conversational style and yet imparts a great deal of atmosphere. Being a woman of a certain age myself, I understand the urge to shake up your life. Prague is a city I have long yearned to visit, though not live, and Weiss's book reaffirms the desire. I think anyone who enjoys travel memoirs or has an affinity for Eastern Europe would enjoy this book.
