Paperback. A different book about a different way of life. When the Author, her husband, and their two very young daughters set off on a five year journey around the Atlantic Ocean in a 13 metre yacht, they have no idea what lies ahead of them. Superbly compiled, and written in the first person, Vivienne Lorentzon takes the reader on a fantastic journey into (what is for them) previously uncharted territory, in highly entertaining fashion generating a compulsion to keep the pages turning. The adventures they have and the situations in which they find themselves - the different cultures and colourful characters with whom they come into contact, the unusual sights, tastes and smells, and some breathtakingly beautiful scenery cleverly woven together with the hazards which they face, and the challenges of the ever-querulous sea - are all vividly brought to life as a wonderfully vibrant picture painted on a moving canvas. Their true-life adventure is fraught with unforeseen dangers, and one cannot but empathise strongly with the mother whose main object is to keep her children safe whilst ensuring they enjoy to the full the benefit of some of the magical and almost-fantastical environments in which they find themselves. A truly splendid offering, this delightful book provides not only entertainment but the opportunity to take a glimpse into another world from which there is much to learn. Superbly narrated throughout, it is an incredible story, and the sequel, yet to be published, is definitely a book to watch out for.
