A Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke

4.0

A magical book that will capture the heart of anyone who likes to wander. I loved the style of writing and all the fascinating travel tales, Aubry is a brilliant and captivating character. The trouble with beautiful, meandering stories, is that they're often hard to finish well - and unfortunately I found the ending unsatisfying compared with the rest of the book. Still worth a read though, one of the most lovely and original stories I've read in a while.
