review 1: I really liked Joan's first book, A Year by the Sea, but was thoroughly disappointed with this. It's really just a poor, rehash of the first book. It felt tired and trite and more like a novel than a truly believable inspirational book. To me, it felt like she found a shtickt and just wants to wring it dry financially. She repeated tells you about what a success the first book was, but then her husband asks her where she'll find the money to go to Scotland? Oh come on--it just felt like a sad attempt to be "everywoman." And she drops Joan Erickson's name so many times in this book, I wanted to scream "enough." Ididn't finish is-too many other good things out there to read to waste time on this.
review 2: A good read but sadly except for a few small parts it d... moreid not resonate with me. Its hard to relate to someone who has the means to travel to a remote island to find herself or who can tuck herself away on Cape Cod and has time to wander the beach on a daily basis. No offense and I do envy a life like that but I need to find myself and where I'm heading in the middle of working a 50 hour week and having weekends that rush by in a blink of an eye. I would still recommend this book you never know what will "click" for you and bring about that "aha" moment and her description of the island of Iona was beautiful, it really made me wish I could go there to hide away for awhile. less
