I've really enjoyed reading about their travels - even when they weren't particularly enjoying them.<br /><br />Eric was always interested in the culture and history of the people he was visiting, so you get a lot of context for their travels.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-14092904994200558912012-11-17T18:23:45.094-06:002012-11-17T18:23:45.094-06:00I haven't heard of either author but their boo...I haven't heard of either author but their books sound fascinating. I will definitely be looking for the Ireland book--I love travel memoirs and have been wanting to read more about Ireland as well.<br /><br />Great review.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-89253003764784872162012-11-15T07:51:10.959-06:002012-11-15T07:51:10.959-06:00I still have that book on the TBR stack, and I'...I still have that book on the TBR stack, and I'm looking forward to it.<br /><br />I saw your tweet about wanting to comment more often - but you're always generous with your comments!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-90210152796442183482012-11-14T22:36:03.183-06:002012-11-14T22:36:03.183-06:00What a fascinating life Wanda has had!

I don't know much about the war years or post-war years in Italy, either - it seems like a very dark and little discussed era.<br /><br />I've really enjoyed learning about this amazing couple through your posts on their books. I still have On the Shores of the Mediterranean checked out from the library and am slowly working my way through it. I love Newby's observations.Anbolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080054175904900094noreply@blogger.com
