After more than twenty years living internationally—sixteen addresses, eight countries and five different languages—writer Melissa Bradford shares a fantastic journey of motherhood that will inspire any family.
Follow this family of six on their passage—extraordinary, hilarious and heartbreakingly poignant—from Bright Lights (of New York City) to the Northern Lights (of Norway) to the City of Light (Paris) to the speed-of-light of the Autobahn (in Munich). Continue deep into the tropics of Southeast Asia (Singapore) and end your voyage in the heights of the Swiss Alps (Geneva).
As varied as the topography—the craggy fjords, the meandering Seine, the black forests, the muggy tropics, the soaring Alps—this multicultural tale traverses everything from giving birth in a château in Versailles to living on an island in a fjord. From singing jazz on national Norwegian T.V. to judging an Indonesian beauty contest. From navigating the labyrinth of French bureaucracy and the traffic patterns of Singapore to sitting around a big pine table where the whole family learns languages, cultures, cuisines—where they, in short, learn to love this complex and diverse world and, most importantly, each other.
This one I just couldnt get through. I so wanted to love it. The size of the font was driving me nuts! It looks like they wanted to make sure it was under 300 pages so they put it at 10 font and made it all bold. By the time I had made it to page ten my eyes were popping out of my head and all over the page. I just couldnt do it. So this one I really think they need to reprint it for this author and make it so people can read it. So who wants my copy? Comment below to give this one a try and Ill pick someone to send it to. Please be in the USA!PS giving this one 3 stars because I was enjoying the story! I just couldnt do the font anymore!
