In A Fine Romance, Susan Branch recorded her trip to England with her wonderful husband, Joe Hall, from the romantic crossing of the Atlantic on an oceanliner to the shores of England where they toured the English countryside, taking their time to visit the country homes and gardens of famous writers and artists (including Beatrix Potter, Vanessa Bell, Vita Sackville-West, Jane Austen) as well as personal friends.
Susan's descriptions of these places and experiences as well as her impressions are beautifully recorded and full of charm with accompanying photos and lovely watercolor illustrations. She literally paints the English countryside with pictures and words and pulls you in so you feel as if you're visiting The Lake District, the Cotswolds and walking the gardens of Hill Top Farm, breathing in the scents, taking in the sights.
The A Fine Romance book is full of pictures, her illustrations, beautiful storytelling, recipes, book suggestions; music and movie suggestions (as they relate to England) and so much more including the trip to England on the Queen Mary 2 and the winding down on the trip home. The A Fine Romance book has a bit of everything a good travel journal should and more.
