The cover grabbed me (why yes, I do judge a book by it’s cover!) and the description intrigued me but I did not expect to enjoy it so much! It was delightful and the narrator was perfect. I found myself sucked into Alice’s world and really didn’t want it to end. The characters were believable and likable. I will be talking about this book to anyone and everyone that will listen! I have a few books that are favorites and I read annually…I will be adding The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury to my list! This may be my book club pick this year and if not I will be recommending they read it. Do yourself a favor and read this book! – Amazon Reviewer
The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury
From international bestselling author Marc Levy comes a witty and beguiling novel of one woman’s unexpected journey to follow her destiny.
Alice Pendelbury believes everything in her life is pretty much in order—from her good friends to her burgeoning career. But even Alice has to admit it’s been an odd week. Not only has her belligerent neighbor, Mr. Daldry, suddenly become a surprisingly agreeable confidant, but he’s encouraging her to take seriously the fortune-teller who told her that only by traveling to Turkey can Alice meet the most important person in her life.
What’s more, the peculiarly insistent Mr. Daldry has even agreed to finance Alice’s trip—one that against all reason seems to be predestined. It’s on this journey, crazy from the outset and strangely irresistible, that Alice will find out that nothing in her life is real, that her past is not true, and that the six people she’s about to encounter will shape her future in ways she could never have dreamed.
Revised edition: Previously published as L’étrange voyage de Monsieur Daldry, this edition of The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury includes editorial revisions.
