"I really enjoy travel memoirs, I like hearing other people tell tales of their crazy adventures in distant lands and their meshing with local culture. Combining that with my recent crazy work schedule and I thought this book would take me on a mental"

The Motion of the Ocean: 1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, and a Woman's Search for the Meaning of Wife:
"I really enjoyed the sailing aspects of this book. However the point of the story was the author finding the meaning of "wife". On some occasions she made some really great points that showed insight and growth. However a good majority of the 2 year "

| Dual pov made story a bit disjointed and became rather tiresome. Chapters ended on a suspenseful note which helped sustain tension. Found final twist somewhat unbelievable. Regardless, a worthwhile read. | |

"I don't know if I'm in thriller burnout, or if I'm just getting more jaded, but I haven't found many suspense novels lately that really "wow" or surprise me. So many whiny paranoid women, so much gaslighting, and so much suspension of disbelief neede"

| Incredibly interesting book. I had never heard about the Levitan Department Store in Paris. Twists at the end of the story were well-done and pulled everything together. Congratulations. An excellent read. | |

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
