Headline Review

review 1: First of all, I already loved Emily Barr. I was interested in reading another of her books but excited when I realized it was linked to Backpacking. This novel once again had everything I was looking for. Adventure and travel, an interesting cast of characters and an unexpected subplot. Although it didn't take me long to kind of get the feeling things were not quite right, I was still so deeply involved in the story that I had to finish it. Emily would be easy to pop into the chick lit catagory and yet you only have to read one of her books to know that there is way more than just a love story. I have also recently read The Sleeper. This to my mind was my favorite of her books. If it's possible, Emily is getting better! I look forward to her next ... morebook.
review 2: This is the second Emily Barr book I read and this one was better than The Sister. Though misleading in it's blurb, this is no thriller or fast paced read. This is a well-written book about a woman tired of her everyday life and wants to reclaim her backpacking past. She lands up in India to help her friend run an orphanage and all hells sorta breaks loose. An interesting read but could have been better. less
