Love and Romance: True Stories of Passion on the Road

by Judith Babcock Wylie (Editor)

Overview

Travelers' Tales Love & Romance is a collection of literary essays — all true stories — of love, lust, and romance encountered while traveling. They range from a tender story of how travel kept the spark in a 50-year marriage, to one woman's story of becoming engaged to a Figi Island tribesman, to the tale of an erotic romp with an unsuspected opium smuggler. Some stories are touching, others are frightening; all involve love in its many guises waiting to surprise and delight the unsuspecting traveler.

Editorial Reviews

Wylie, an editor with Romance Traveling, has compiled a collection of 39 stories of love experienced while traveling. A wide variety of stories has been selected for this volume, some involving committed relationships, some involving new ones. One tells about doing dolphin research aboard a boat full of free-love proponents, while another describes a "Wacky Weekend," or a vacation weekend spent entirely at home. Seven stories come from a national contest on "your most romantic travel experience." The stories are divided into five sections, including "Essence" and "Going Your Own Way." These sections seem to be thematic, but the theme is difficult to decipher. That is unimportant, however; the stories themselves are interesting and well written.
