This is one of the most fun and delightful books I have read in a long time.  I borrowed it from Prime but I am going to purchase it too, as I know I want to reread it.  A long trek across the countryside of southern France, with time to stop and smell the roses and move all sorts of bugs and fauna to safety from the roads--how fun! In addition, there were myriad stories of the country folk Susie met along the way and the trials and tribulations of backpacking as a newbie--bad tent and sleeping bag, sore blistered feet, rain and more rain, finding food, finding vegetarian fare, etc.  I especially liked when she met up with her good friend, Carol, and Carol's friend, Liz, who were to accompany her on the last leg of her trip to Lake Geneva.  Totally believable and I could just see it happening to me.  I cheered when she made the inevitable decision to go it alone, and the trek got back on track.Highly recommended for arm chair travelers or trekkers (like me!)  I will definitely read more of Susie Kelly's books.
