Book Reviews of Embarassment of Mangoes
Book Review: A Caribbean Treat!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband would love for me to sail off with him but I have no desire to go on vacation and do that much work (and I'm a chicken)! However I feel like I've lived this vacation somewhat after reading this terrific book. The vision of the calm ocean at night with the stars overhead were so serene and beautiful, I felt like I was there. Then again, the storms were scary enough to bring me back to reality!
Having visited some of the low country areas of SC and GA, I could smell and feel the ocean while I was reading those parts......I just loved it.
This book didn't change my mind about sailing, but it did make me yearn to visit some of these areas and it CERTAINLY made me hungry for the food! I've actually made two of the recipes and they were very, very good. The recipes are almost as good as the story.
I felt like the author when the book was ending......I didn't want the voyage to be over. Fortunately, I can easily resolve my issue: I'm reading it again!
Thanks Ann for sharing your experience.
