Although I didn't enjoy it as much as it's predecessor, The Grand Tour was a fun, swoony jaunt following Cecy, Kate, and their husbands on their nonsensical quest throughout Western Europe. The plot was definitely... meandering, but the highlight was the interactions of the main characters, particularly Thomas and Kate. Cecy really took a backseat in this one, but that could be because her account was told through a deposition, and her character wasn't given the freedom that the lettter format of the previous book gave. Kate suffered as well--- she was no longer confident and both were highly dependent on their husbands, when they managed just fine on their own before.

Overall, if you enjoyed Cecilia and the Chocolate Pot, this is worth picking up.
