Book Reviews of Without Reservations: The Travels of an Independent Woman

Book Review: Excellent read
Summary: 5 Stars

Having booked my first trip (with my loved one) to Paris I was recommended by a friend to read this book.
After raising her children on her own and carved out a successful career as a Journalist Alice Steinbach realises that she is wanting to find who she really is and not just someones mother or employee.
Alice decides to embark on a contemporary "Grand Tour" stopping off in Paris, London, Oxford, and Italy ( Venice, Florence etc.)
The tales of her life whilst living in these european cities is funny, heartwarming and thought provoking.
Alice has a wonderful ability to create images with her words and really brings places to life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, light and maybe rambling in places but never the less an absorbing read about someones journey in this life.
