Great read for someone who hasn't already discovered pressing the restart button. Lovely in parts and in other parts slightly awkward. Impressive woman--dares to break with the mold to explore new regions of possibility.

I don't really feel like I learned anything new in this book. I enjoyed A Year By the Sea a lot more. I'm sure I would feel a lot better about my mid-life if I could stay in a free cottage on Iona for 3 weeks. After her first book I felt inspired. After this one I feel like the answer to feeling bad about your life is to run away from it.

I read this one for bookgroup. It was barely okay. It's supposed to encourage mid-life women to make the changes necessary to improve their life. I don't think it said much of anything. My engineering father would say it had a "low signal-to-noise ratio."

Ehh--started out ok, but then lost me. The author is fortunate (?) to be able to up & leave on a whim, heading off to "find herself/find inner peace". Not very realistic. Some of her stories were a nice read, but towards the end I was tired that she had gone off over seas, alone, doing HER thing. Would have given 2.5 star, but couldn't get the .5 to work.

Anderson, author of A Year by the Sea, has fallen back into old habits. She is running and gunning and she is not happy. Reflection about her stressful life sends on a short sabbatical where she reconnects with the deepest and most satisfying part of herself again.

Still don't know what to think about this one. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Well-written, with good information, but...enjoyed the part in Iona.
