The Metal Mermaid by Kez Wickhan St. George was a read worth the time. It was a memoir of an epic trip up the coast of Australia and across the North Island of New Zealand. A journey of the spirit as well as a description of the wonders of these lands. Kez tells it all from the loss of a husband (not overtold or overwrought) in the middle of the trek to the final sea cruise home. Metal Mermaid reminded me of the American book: Zen, And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance: A walk-around of growth and meditation. I’ve never been to Australia, but I was enthralled with the richness of the descriptions. I even got out a map if Australia and traced the route as best I could. For me, Metal Mermaid was superb, five stars. |
