Book of the Week - The Evolution of Jane


The Evolution of Jane, Cathleen Schine
Our book partner, Longitude books is always searching for new books to inspire and inform your travels.

This week, they've recommended you escape to The Evolution of Jane by Cathleen Schine. A novel, the book is about a recently divorced 25-year-old woman who takes the search for her own origins all the way to the Galápagos Islands. Part travelogue, part comedy, part commentary, it's a book worth curling up with this summer.
