If you're looking for an adventure don't pick this book up. If you're looking for a woman's personal journey and a reflection on her life triggered by her brother's death, then give this a chance.

I will admit, I found the first two-thirds of the book slow and lackluster, but once I hit the final third I was glad I finished. It sort of redeemed itself and I was glad to see the realization and change the main character came to.
