Book Review: Odyssey of Love
By Elizabeth Suggs
Odyssey of Love by Linda Jämsén is a memoir about finding oneself and love. After Linda seeks a medium who tells her she’s going to find the love of her life in another country, she decides to change her life and go on tons of adventures. My favorite thing is that it shows bravery and romance.
I really enjoyed this book as I am a traveler myself, and I’ve been to some of these places that were mentioned and the other places that I haven’t been, I could almost imagine myself there with her great description. And the best part about this book is that it’s a true story, so for me, this made it even better.
My only real critique was that I wish it was a little shorter and I wasn’t in love with the diary entries because I feel like it pulled away from the real meat of the story. Other than that, this book is great. The writing is engaging and the people are fun. I definitely suggest this, especially if you love travel and memoirs!
