　　In a travel-book-cum-memoir set against a glamorous background

of European cities, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Steinbach

describes the months she spent traveling after she took a

sabbatical from her job as columnist for the Baltimore Sun. For

Steinbach, traveling is an exercise in reconnecting with a more

independent and uninhibited side of her personality. Her

not-quite-spontaneous adventure begins in Paris, where she finds a

kindred spirit in a worldly Japanese businessman. From there she

heads off to Oxford, where she takes a course in English village

life, and on to Milan, where she meets the most charming of her

fellow travelers, a young American girl soon to be married. The

obstacles Steinbach faces on her journeys seem minor--overcoming a

fear of ballroom dancing in Oxford and putting aside the habit of

always doing "at least two things at once." Only in Milan, when she

was nearly mugged, does Steinbach experience anything harrowing.

Though the de*ions of each locale are thin, they are not

really the purpose of this memoir; rather, the author's intent is

to connect emotionally with each city and to learn "to take

chances. To have adventures [and] to see if I could still hack it

on my own, away from the security of work, friends and an

established identity." Supplying more finely observed details might

have made this a richer book, but the writing is generally

optimistic, warm and genuine in a Chicken-Soup-for-Travelers kind

of way. Illustrations not seen by PW.
