Circling the Sun by Paula McLain

5.0

Absolutely stunning book. I haven't (yet) read the Paris Wife, so I went into this book with no preconceived notions about the author or her style. I really enjoyed Circling the Sun, it was moving and sweeping and rich with character development. I felt the descriptions of the scenery and the landscape were enough to immerse the reader into Africa, without distracting from the story line by having pages after pages on scenery alone. A rare-5 start rating from me, this was definitely one of my favorites of 2015.
