Publisher's Synopsis

In a collection of beautifully written personal essays that explore travel, both to distant places and within the mind, Margaret Thompson knocks on doors, both spiritual and secular, in Greece, Italy, France and Canada. The result is a travel memoir of the mind and body that takes the reader to places they can identify with, even if they never venture far from their own front door. Intelligently and lucidly written in imaginative and evocative language, these essays ruminate upon the place of the individual in society, moral duty, truth and the media and our connection to others. This is a lyrical journey for those travellers who engage with their surroundings, and revel in the challenge of "seeking something different from their ordinary lives, something better."
