For some reason, Kaye Dennan's `Gold Coast Summer' reminds me of Elizabeth Gilbert's `Eat, Pray, Love'--but Kaye's book stands on its own as a distinct literary achievement, and one that will move you with its honesty and romance.The failure of Cindi's marriage sends her out on a long journey, and it's a journey that's not only about exploring other countries but also an inward trip of self-discovery. But Cindi's travels--from Queensland to Italy, where she finds her roots--turns out to be full of distractions: being exceptionally attractive, the men she meets are almost always smitten. The decisions Cindi eventually makes is something that should inspire and enlighten women everywhere, especially those who are also trying to find meaning in the lives.Overall, Kaye Dennan's `Gold Coast Summer' is that exceptionally well-written romantic tale that offers so much more than merely sensual excitement. Kaye is obviously at the height of her literary powers here--her uncanny knack for creating emotionally resonant scenes, twist and turns page after page is short of breath-taking. Needless to say, you'll love every moment of this reading experience. Highly recommended.
