Mehso-so

Oh dear.

This is a book about older women who take a journey to ancient mythological sites in N Africa and Italy. The travel section was beautiful and nearly translucent; the relationships between the women sparkled and shimmered.

This book could have been so good. It was written in 4 sections, with one being stellar, another good, a third middling, and the fourth dreadful. Sadly, the dreadful section was the longest in the book. Shame.

RadicalReader @Libby1 hope the dreadful section wasn't the end of the book. However if it was I could easily understand why it got that rating 7y
Libby1 Hi, @RadicalReader . The dreadful section was actually the first one, but I'm glad I persisted! 7y
