More Review Books

Arrived home on Monday from a fun long weekend in Montreal with J., to the news that I've snagged another book for review, from LibraryThing. Yay! This one is called Weaving a Way Home: A Personal Journey Exploring Place and Story by Leslie Van Gelder. Time will tell whether it will be quite profound or a pile of touchy-feely rubbish. The jacket blurb suggests a meld of travel narrative and memoir:

Weaving a Way Home is an inquiry into the complex relationship between people, place, and story. In our memories and connections to a place, we are given one of the few opportunities to have deep relationships with place---relationships that cannot be described in words. Place can embody powerful emotions for us, and Leslie Van Gelder argues that we ourselves are places---geographical points possessing unique perspectives---that can feel displaced, replaced, or immovable. While the places of the external world can be accessed through maps and a good GPS system, our emotional landscapes are best reached through the sharing of stories.

In the interim, though, I guess I better get cracking on the review for my first book.
