Freshly separated and about to get divorced, Sara focused all her energy in getting that promotion in her law´s firm. But could be that our bodies are not made for being overworked and soon her health will send her the right signals to stop. Which lead her to the adventurous choice of booking a month in a spa retreat in Norway. And as she put on hold her busy barrister life in London, the quiet is entering her life, and her life choices may be under scrutiny.
Escape to the Northern Life by Carrie Walker is one of those books I need when regretting my workaholic times. I used to be like Sara and while I am not necessarily unhappy with my current life choices, I miss the adrenaline running fast through my veins when after a full day of awesome work, without proper eating, sleeping and exercising. Her character is very relatable, and I know this is not only for me.
Although the book is a bit over 200 pages, it has a slow pace but paced enough to all both the narrative and the characters to develop. At the same time, it creates the right ambiance reflected into the day life and decisions of the characters, both in Norway and in London.
This book is a recommended read for anyone looking for inspiration for a life re-boot and inspiration for new beginnings. A great weekend read that maybe will also bring some inspiration for some Norway travel as well.
Rating: 4 stars
