An Embarrassment of Mangoes: A Caribbean Interlude by Ann Vanderhoof

3.0

This book had been on my GoodReads list for over 10 years!! I finally decided to read it. Generally I’m not a fan of many adjectives or detail but this author did a wonderful job using them! Her writing style made me feel like on was on the sailboat experiencing all the different cultures of the Caribbean with her and her husband. Two workaholics decide to embark on a 2 year sailing adventure leaving their stressful life in Toronto behind. If you like to sail and/or cook, this book is for you! The author shares several recipes at the end of each chapter. I did enjoy to book but found myself skimming in places. I think this would be a good winter read - it will make you feel as if you are in the middle of the ocean enjoying the sun, seafood and rum!
