Descriere magazin:
This story, about three generations of women with a passion for reading, writing, and travel, begins in 1992, in an unfinished attic in Brooklyn, as a young writer reads journals written by her grandmother as a schoolgirl nearly 100 years earlier. This sets her on a 30-year quest to uncover the hidden lives and unfulfilled dreams of her mother and grandmother. In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, the author comes to realize that the passion for travel and for literature that has fueled her life\'s journey is a gift that was passed down to her by the very role models she was determined to escape. This is a story of the life-changing journey of the author as she comes to terms with the complicated relationships she had with her mother and grandmother; about her travels in the US and France; and the emotional journey she takes as she recovers from the breakup of her marriage. It is also about the journeys--geographic, intellectual, and emotional--of her mother and grandmother. It is also a story about the tenacity and strength of even difficult family relationships; and about the role of luck, both good and bad, in shaping human lives.

Harriet Welty Rochefort, author of French Toast, French Fried, Joie de Vivre, and Final Transgression A lovely, lyrical memoir that tells the story of the author\'s winding path from a childhood in Minnesota to her adventures as an adult in New York, Washington, Paris, and beyond.... Janet Hulstrand is an engaging and empathetic storyteller, and her memoir is a testament to the writing life, and to all the hardship and reward that it entails. Susan Coll, author of Bookish People and five other novels Janet Hulstrand\'s charming memoir will cheer every reader who has dreamed of changing her life, living in Europe, becoming a writer, or just plain having a
