Description
A chance finding of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.
A visit to Hemingway home in Chicago.
Determination to weave odd travel experiences into a sensible series of events.
The author's passion for coffee, Lord Byron, and Ernest Hemingway borders on obsession, which eventually leads her to undertake the biggest challenge of her life - tracing their footsteps across two continents and finding solace in learning of their happy secrets.
But when she sets out on her journey, little does she know that her quest would lead her to the best blends, adventurers and a couple of 'other' writers who shaped history and literature.
A Roar and a Drumbeat is a journey like no other.
What you get is a literary ride speckled with adventures in the Savannahs and streets of Paris and coupled with the authors' astute observation of people, conversations and time, makes for an authentic and wholesome read.
The book delightfully weaves memoirs and musings and transforms the lives of two literary greats into an emotional and physical kaleidoscope.
A Roar and a Drumbeat is funny and enlightening and provides healthy doses of adventure and literary adventures.
