Review of 3 Sisters 3 Weeks 3 Countries (Still Talking)
[Following is a volunteer review of "3 Sisters 3 Weeks 3 Countries (Still Talking)" by Elizabeth Moore Kraus.]
The memoir titled 3 Sisters 3 Weeks 3 Countries (Still Talking) by Elizabeth Moore Kraus recounts the exciting exploits of Liz, Les, and Rie, three sisters, on a three-week escapade across Ireland, England, and Scotland. Delving into their distinctive sisterly connection, the book delves into the hurdles they encounter throughout their travels. From manoeuvring through unfamiliar urban landscapes to confronting unexpected lodging situations, the sisters discover reliance on one another and draw strength from their sibling bond. Through a blend of amusing anecdotes and touching moments, the memoir vividly portrays the highs and lows of their expedition, underscoring the significance of family, companionship, and embracing novel encounters. It stands as an endearing and relatable narrative that exalts the influence of sisterhood and the delight found in exploration and travel.
I'm captivated by Liz, one of the trio of sisters featured in the book. Liz's vivacious demeanour and clever storytelling style render her an approachable and captivating lead. Her knack for humour and knack for finding happiness in even the most demanding circumstances endear her to the audience. Liz's reflective disposition and openness to introspection about her personal development and relationships bring complexity to her character, establishing her as someone readers can cheer for and relate to. One narrative thread that particularly resonates with me is the sisters' voyage through the various countries and cities they explore.
The book leads readers on an enchanting travel escapade, delving into the sights, sounds, and cultures of Ireland, England, and Scotland. The sisters' encounters, spanning from discovering historic landmarks to engaging with locals, create a vibrant and immersive backdrop for the narrative. I recommend this book to memoir enthusiasts and travel aficionados, offering a vibrant exploration of sisterhood and cultural adventures across Ireland, England, and Scotland, anchored by engaging characters amidst occasional relational complexities.
While there are aspects of the book that charm me, there's a part that unfortunately falls into the dislike category. It revolves around Les, one of the trio of sisters in the story. Les's reserved demeanour and tendency to keep her emotions guarded create a disconnect that makes her less relatable to me. Her occasional clashes or strained interactions with her sisters add to a feeling of frustration and disconnection within the narrative. Furthermore, I find certain parts of the book lacking resonance, leaving me with a sense of dissatisfaction or disinterest, wishing for either their removal or more substantial development. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
I gave this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because it presents a heartwarming celebration of sisterhood, travel, and familial bonds. The book vividly portrays the vibrant character of Liz, making her a relatable and captivating protagonist through her lively personality and engaging storytelling. The exploration of various countries and cities offers an enchanting travel experience, immersing readers in diverse cultures and experiences. Despite minor reservations, such as the less relatable portrayal of Les and some occasionally underdeveloped storylines, the book succeeds in delivering an enjoyable and charming narrative. Its strengths in character depth, cultural exploration, and the celebration of familial connections outweigh these drawbacks, making it a highly engaging read worthy of a 4-star rating.
