A Short Walk Through a Wide World

Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the free copy for review.

The first word that comes to mind when I think about this book is: different.
This book is not what I expected at all. And I say that in the best posible way.
Here we have a woman with a terrible disease. A disease that took her from her home at the age of nine and made her travel the world for a lifetime without stopping for more than a couple of days at a time. It was a disease that took everything from her, but also gave her so much. 
Throughout this book the reader is able to see the world through Aubry's eyes, but we also get to feel her anger and her frustration at having no power over this disease. And I have to say, as a person living with a chronic illness, that hit very hard.
I loved the libraries. These magical places where Aubry was able to rest and think and gain new perspective. Only a librarian would be able to write this book. And I love it!
