Book Overview

Three generations of women set out to heal their broken hearts on a grand adventure of hiking the Incan Trail to Machu Picchu in this stirring, spirited, and ultimately joyful journey of love and self discovery for fans of Rebecca Serle and Josie Silver...

When twenty-five-year-old Heather Russo breaks up with her boyfriend--again--she can't figure out if she's to blame or he is. Either way, she's miserable, and working at home via Zoom meetings is only making it worse. What's more, all the women in her family are struggling. Mom Sandy is convinced she's wasted her life and is nursing a giant grudge against Heather's father, whom she's now divorcing. Grandmother Bonnie is reeling with the grief of losing her third husband, and is carrying his urn everywhere she goes, even the supermarket. The bottom has fallen out of their lives so abruptly, the trio is clinging to any handhold they can--and slowly but surely losing their grip ...

Inspired by a friend's adventurous grandson, and determined not to spend her 70th birthday wallowing, Bonnie is ready to take extreme measures. Even if it means dragging her beloved girls along by the hair, they're going to hike the Incan Trail to Machu Picchu Of course, their emotional baggage gets packed with their lightweight jackets, but as they make the trek, the women also talk, sharing stories and secrets that have been festering for far too long. With every arduous step toward the famed summit, each woman sheds some of the past and its pain, and opens up to the extraordinary possibilities of the present--and a future that just might include a new happily ever after.

Oops, this one's in GERMAN

I absolutely love-love-loved this book in English (Titled 'Three Bags Full') and am trying to learn German; now I just need to get my hands on the German audio version so that I can follow along...

sheep detectives

Absolutely wonderful even if you do not have sheep but especially fun if you do.

Sheep detectives?

Over the years there have been books with rabbits, mice, bears, and other non-humans as protagonists, but this is the first one that I have every read that features sheep. Not only sheep, but a flock determined to find out who killed their shepherd. Naturally, this takes place in Ireland, where the fantastic always seems commonplace. The writing is witty, and told from the perspective of a sheep. There are too many members of the flock for all of them to be fully fleshed out as characters, but they are, after all, sheep. The humans aren't really more detailed, but they appear to us as they appear to the sheep, even if not fully realized. The plot was interesting, and there were some intersting side stories, and I enjoyed the book very much. If you don't like animals, however, don't read the book!

Three bags full

It's a very weird, beautiful mirror for us humans. Ladies, please dont wear make-up,when you read this book. Gentlemen, be prepared, it is better then the Life of Brian. I got tears of laughing all the time. One of the rare books, you have to have at home - at least in 3 samples, in order to be able to give it to your highly sophisticated or misanthrop friends. Enjoy.

Watch Out! American Readers....

This is the same book as "Three Bags Full". It just has a different title.
