Solo travel is a way to either find or lose oneself. Afia is a conservative young woman, living with old school values in a fast forward-moving society, which has left her in permanent limbo in the area of love. Zellenials are a generation trapped between two generations (Millennials and Gen Z). Trailblazing, breaking generational curses and turning backs on ‘old mother tales’, comes at what cost? It seems to be at the cost of finding true love.

 

Lisbon is powerfully mysterious, attractive and fascinating.  In one word, seductive! On her journey, Afia tries to romanticise her life, and she makes - what she believes to be - a mistake. Has she been foolish to have allowed this to happen?

 

A well paced novel full of adventure and self-analysis.
