Title: The Wandering Season

Author: Aimie K.Runyan

Publisher: Harper Muse

Genre: Contemporary Women’s fiction

with a splash of Magical Realism

{Thank you @uplitreads + @harpermusebooks for the #gifted copy of The Wandering Season by Aimie K. Runyan, out today 4/1. I paired it with the audiobook from @netgalley + harper muse audiobooks because I knew the narrator Caroline Hewitt would do a great job with any accents and I wasn’t disappointed!}

While this author has written rich historical fiction in the past, I think it’s important to know before approaching this story that it is definitely one that leans more women’s fiction. The history comes in the form of a magical realism element. Whatever you want to call them—visions, dreams, hallucinations—I thought this was a fun way to tackle ancestry. And I personally love when an author doesn’t box themselves into one genre and follows a brilliant story idea.

Wanderlusts. Foodies. Dreamers. Romantics. This story is for you!

Ever since a high school biology class, Veronica had a hunch that she may have been adopted. Her rare red hair and green eyes just didn’t match the rest of the family. When her sister gives DNA tests as a Christmas gift, her parents confirm her suspicions and she begins unraveling her tangled family roots on a whirlwind European trip.

☘️ A castle in Ireland

🥖 A small village in France

🍕 The Tuscan region of Italy

❄️ A few days in Denmark

🗽 And finally NYC

Veronica may find out some things about her family along the way, but really she finds herself and a nudge to follow the dreams she’s had since childhood she was afraid to pursue.

When I finished this story the very first word that popped into my head was ‘Lovely’. This is just such a lovely story and I enjoyed traveling through the pages. I enjoyed this close family, sisters, a best friend, a wee romance, traveling and my gosh the food descriptions! Warning: this book will make you hungry!
