(reviewed by Octavia)

I adored the extraordinary journey of Cashel Greville Ross. All in the name of love. Following one’s heart, rather than one’s head, is a risky business. From Cork to London, to the romance and culture of Italy’s Pisa and later Venice. From life on a farm in America and even further yet, to discover the source of the Nile. Putting his life in great danger in exotic, uncharted territory. An unforgettable and stunning story. Completely immersive, charismatic, and charming. A must read.
