Summary- In the year 2018, Kathy Elkind along with her husband Jim went on an adventure. They decided to walk 1400 miles on Europe's Grande Randonnee Cinq (GR5) which spans the countries of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland and The Netherlands. Their idea was to take a gap year, allow themselves to pause and also test their relationship when they were both approaching sixty. They walked for 98 days through forests and villages, across mountains and by rivers and lakes. In this book, Kathy shares her experience with the readers.
Review- The author has beautifully captured her physical and emotional journey with the readers. The descriptions of the different countries, their little villages, beautiful landscapes and unique cuisines are sure to make the readers want to visit those places. She has also discussed different types of feelings and recognizing them. As a trained teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion, she talks about practising self-compassion instead of shaming oneself. She also talks about how staying in the "here and now" helps us to enjoy the little things in life. I also learnt about respecting boundaries and loving my own body.
This book taught me that it's never too late to go for an adventure if one is determined to do so. It was an enjoyable read for me and I think that other readers will feel the same.
I would like to thank the author, publisher and NetGalley for a DRC of the book.
