review 1: A very satisfying memoir, with a bit of everything that I love. Travel, animals,self discovery, love andspiritual awakening. Molly after having gone through quite a bit of ups and downs, in her life and choices, decides she is going to leave the familiar and applies to graduate school in Paris. She is definitely a person, not afraid to try new things and to be good at them. Part of the spiritual journey to me was when faced with a problem or having one that does not go away she, would look within and changes her thought pattern, sending out different energy.From school to working part time at the American Embassy, to her romance with a handsome Turkish fellow student, to bringing her cats over from the USA, she had me right there in the story with her. Such wonderful visua... morels of her life, beautifully written.One piece where the visual impact was great was when she was sitting in Notre Dame on a rainy day, without many people around, thinking about her life and states that she is seeing prayers. One piece of it that I loved, is where she says: " I closed my eyes and felt them swishing through my hair, whisper in my ears and kiss my skin. They twirled around my legs, rubbed against my arms, and then coasted over to the next warm body with comfort and ease." Just a small portion of what she described, but one that I found beautiful.I think we all come away from this story with having found something within ourselves or a feeling that there is something we need to still accomplish. The Art of Trapeze, to be able to delve into your dreams and opportunities, the choices you want to make, and being brave enough to try them.Loved this story.
review 2: I found this book at the right time. Having been diagnosed with breast cancer, going through treatment and surgery I didn't know what I was supposed to do with my life. I feel reading this book may have helped me to find my inner strength and maybe guide me in the right direction. Thanks Molly!
