Review Date: March 1, 2010
Reviewer: Diane,
I picked up this book looking for possible pointers on travelling to Europe with my own mother and her walker. I could not put the book down, I could relate so easily to the author's situation and frustration and underlying love for her mother despite a somewhat difficult relationship. By the time I had finished this book, I had to run out to get Jane's previous book, "What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim". Thoroughly enjoyable read.
LOVED IT

Other comments on this book really shook me, because some were downright hateful. I loved this book, probably because I live with my 96 year old mother and I understand where this lady is coming from. I did not consider this book to be whinny at all but very factual and very funny. Not everyone has the same realtionship with their families so I like to listen and learn. cheers for Jane...love ya.
Laughter + Therapy + Adventure

Reviewer: Avid Reader, Ontario
I really loved this book. Besides deftly exploring that minefield that can be a mother-daughter 'no man's land', this book gave me a glimpse into modern-day travel to ancient Italy. No, it wasn't a glimpse, I was there - I was a back-seat passenger on this life-altering journey. I saw the fields, the caves, the ancient trulli, the architecture and I felt Mom's barbs. "What about your hair?" had a particlar resonance. I heartily endorse this book for some laugh-out-loud moments along with 'fly on the wall' instant therapy. If this intrepid duo gets wanderlust again, can I carry the luggage? Thanks for letting me share your journey. A great read!
Enjoyed

Reviewer: Eve,
Very much enjoyed Jane's book and was able to relate to it, having had very similar experiences travelling with my mom.
Insightful and brave

Reviewer: Saudade Nogueira,
I loved this book and also "What the Psychic told the Pilgrim".

With rare candour and openness, Jane Christmas colourfully retraces her trip to Italy with her debilitated and somewhat difficult Mother. Jane's gutsy self-criticism and very funny and astute observations make for a very liberating and thoroughly enjoyable read.
