Last summer Ginny Blackstone hadn’t travelled before she
embarked on an adventure across Europe guided by instructions in letters
written by her late aunt. With no knowledge Aunt Peg was ill, her death was a
huge shock to the family given that they hadn’t seen her for 2 years, so when
Ginny received a little blue envelope instructing her to pack a bag and set off
on her own, she was not only nervous but also intrigued.
After her journey ended abruptly, Ginny has been back home
in America struggling with what to write for her admittance essay to university
when she receives an email from someone claiming to have the last letter that
disappeared on her previous journey. As Ginny reads the email and recognises
the writing as that of Aunt Peg’s she decides to set off to retrieve the letter
and arranges to meet Oliver, who claims to have it, in a cafe in London.
Reunited with Richard, a close friend of Peg and welcomed to
stay with him again, Ginny plans to discover what Aunt Peg has in store for her
next, but when she meets Oliver and finds out what he has planned, the next
part of her journey takes a very different turn.
Joined by her friend Keith and his new girlfriend Ellis, the
foursome take on the challenge of Aunt Peg finding themselves criss-crossing all
over Europe in an attempt to retrieve the last piece of art Peg made before her
death. The only problem is that it’s not yet finished and as she’s hidden
pieces all over Europe, it’s up to Ginny to assemble her last piece of work.
I really enjoyed this book as it gave me the chance to
travel Europe from the comfort of home.
Excited to discover what came next, I couldn’t wait to dive back into
the story and to re-unite with Ginny as she yet again followed the crazy mind
of her aunt, but in the process creating her own path in life.
A great read.
