A diary of travel told with humour
The book is written as the journal of Penelope, a young American woman with a quick eye and a love of fun. Her entries turn ordinary travel into small comic scenes. A delayed journey or a strange custom becomes a story in her hands.
The diary form gives the book its friendly, chatty tone. Penelope speaks to the reader as a companion would. She notes what amuses her and what touches her.
This voice is the main reason to read the book. The plot is light, and the pleasure lies in her company.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
The rest of the summary, written and spoken, and the whole book: free to start.
