A Time For Adventure

by Miranda Atchley

The year is 1921, and after years of dreaming, Abi Hensley has set out to travel through Europe. Along with her friend Meg Clery, Abi travels from the rich historical sites in England, to the gorgeous green landscapes of Ireland, visits an abandoned castle in Scotland, and roams through the chic streets of Paris. Along the way, they meet a myriad of interesting people, encounter familiar faces, and see things they’ve only ever dreamed of.

Yet their time in Europe isn’t without its challenges. While in Ireland, Abi joins Meg in spending time at her family’s farm. There, they find that the Clerys are overwhelmed by the demands of their farm. In light of this, the family must make some hard decisions; choices that could change the course of their lives forever.

One thing is for certain; Abi’s tour of Europe will most definitely be a time for adventure.

Abi and her friend Meg go on a grand adventure to Europe. They get to see all kinds of new sites and meet new friends. They visit Meg's family in Ireland and meet up with Abi's parents along the way as well. They try all kinds of new cuisine's and travel by boat, train, automobile and buggy. They enjoy their adventures, but are both ready to see the shores of New York when they return. Abi is ready for her new publishing company, Lily House Publishing, to get up and running and publish their first manuscripts. We know that whatever happens next for Abi that she will be trusting the Lord to guide her path.

This was my favorite of the series so far! I enjoyed the trek through Europe and visiting all of the sites with Abi and Meg. The tension is still palpable between Abi and her parents. For some reason I thought that Abi and her father were closer, but in this book he seems just as unreasonable as Abi's mother. Abi is caught between trying to respect them as her parents, but also being her own independent woman no longer under their authority. I hope that this relationship will be resolved in the next installment. We can always count on Abi to be wearing the latest styles. I enjoyed her boldness in wearing trousers this time around. A TIME FOR ADVENTURE was a pleasant read and I do look forward to continuing the series.

Abi and Meg trekking through Europe for several months. Unusual for two women, as it was for Abi to wearing trousers. A time away to see the sites that they had dreamed about. Nice flowing story, enjoying the sites as they traveled.

I enjoy the story about traveling Europe, Italy, and Switzerland. I would love to see everything work with the publishing company work out plus with Meg's family coming to America.
