Sagittarians Always Want to Be Somewhere Else: a Memoir Karen Mccusker

The author weaves together different themes in this memoir. In a series of essay-like chapters, the author recounts life as an expatriate American, first as a child and then as an adult. In a breezy and succinct way she touches upon the main stages and preoccupations of her life: travels, romance, becoming a single mother and settling down in a foreign country. Written in a reflective tone, the telling of both painful and evocative moments, make for a very readable story.
