Book Reviews of A Journey with Elsa Cloud
Book Review: A mother's love knows no bounds
Summary: 5 Stars
Leila Hadley's "A Journey with Elsa Cloud" was a remarkable book. The reader is transported to India and to the depths of Ms. Hadley's soul. This was a poignant tale of a mother's attempts to connect with her estranged daughter after traveling to New Delhi. Along the way, the reader is treated to all the beauty of the country as well as the beauty within this determined mother. Her heart struggles to connect with a person she loves but couldn't be more different from. Veronica lives in self imposed poverty under the guise of a spiritual quest. She lives free of responsibilities or convention and has nothing but criticism and disdain for her mother's more traditional lifestyle. One is left to wonder how the two might ever find common ground but then you realize this story IS THE common ground. It's the journey, not the destination that matters and the attempts to reconcile and the lengths Ms. Hadley goes to achieve this endeavor are proof of her love. By the end of the book, I tired of Veronica's pontificating and holier than thou attitude and wondered if a reconciliation would ever be a good thing. Leila Hadley's writing is incredibly pictorial, full of emotion and completely absorbing. I recommend "A Journey with Elsa Cloud" as well as Ms. Hadley's other books, "Give Me the World" and "A Garden by the Sea". All three are treasures.
