Some might call me wonderulst-less because I'm not keen on packing up a suitcase and trotting around the globe.  But they don't understand. I do love to travel, only from the comfort of my Papasan chair.  Beate Boeker's "A New Life" took me on a fabulous journey through Florence, Italy.  Her descriptions of the landscapes and the people were so rich that it was perhaps the best "vacation" of my life.  I hated to leave the Hotel Garibaldi and still think fondly of the "lilac hour" evenings in Peter's garden.  You can't help but root for Anne, so full of spirit despite her past, and for Peter, who misconstrues Anne's reason for being there.  So combine travel, romance and a bit of a mystery, and it's the trifecta of reading pleasure.  Well-done Ms. Boeker!  I hope you have more books coming out soon!
