Places I Remember:
Tales, Truths, Delights from 100 Countries by Lea Lane is a memoir that
follows the author's wonderful experiences traveling across seven continents,
starting with her first overseas travel in 1965 for her honeymoon from the US
to Europe. Over five decades, she has traveled to 100 countries and in this
book, she shares interesting discoveries and memories of unique experiences and
places. She has been mugged, she has found love on a cruise ship and watched
people remarry, and she has clear memories of Germany using poison gas on the
Western Front at the Second battle of Ypres. This travel memoir gives readers
dazzling images of places in many countries across the world — Zimbabwe,
Bahamas, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Greece, Egypt, Madagascar, Spain, Russia,
the Philippines, Thailand, England, etc. Readers encounter different cultures
and peoples as they journey across the continents with Lane.
Lea Lane is not just an admirable traveler but a seasoned author and travel
writer with the unique ability to capture important and interesting moments of
her journeys with such economy of word and clarity of thought that make readers
feel as though they walked right close by her. The writing is enriched by her
unique perspective on traveling because she sets out to discover the world. The
things she uncovers in the different places, the memorable locales, the inimitable
experiences, the rich cultures, and the peoples are treasures that are
brilliantly documented in this wonderful book. The writing is gorgeous and the
fully drawn settings are embellished by the photos and illustrations that
translate the tone and experiences of the writing. The author has a strong
sense of imagery and while writing about places and experiences, she allows her
humanity and that of others to shine through the book. Places I Remember: Tales, Truths, Delights from 100 Countries is a
gorgeous offering to fans of travel memoirs.

Many first-time memoirists believe that because the events are true, the structure will take care of itself. This is a fatal error. Life is chaotic; narrative is order.
