The Silent Traveller in New York by Chiang Yee

adventurous hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing slow-paced

5.0

Chiang Yee, knows as The Silent Traveller, comes to New York from London. Published in 1950, this book is a collection of his thoughts, experiences, and feelings starting from the boarding the ship in England to leaving New York. 

The Silent Traveller's writing style is so elegant and classic. It is beautiful and his words easily paint a picture inside your mind of that exact moment in time. I very much enjoyed the descriptions of his experiences in New York City. I love this city more than life itself - any book about it I can get my hands on, I will!
