THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE by Heidi Heilig

April 7, 2016

Book cover & rating - THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE by Heidi HeiligTime travel in books is my weakness. I used to actively seek them out as a kid. Nowadays reading about such stories feels like visiting old friends. Sadly, The Girl from Everywhere didn’t quite have enough of it. The setting of The Girl from Everywhere was predominantly Honolulu 1884. There were glimpses of India, New York and China from various eras but not a lot happened in these places. Being stuck in Hawaii for so long gave rise to a slower moving plot than I had anticipated.
