Additional travels included short stays in many more\u003cbr\u003e countries and trips around the globe in either direction three times.\u003cbr\u003e After settling, at long last, in Germany, Isolde keenly and painfully felt the\u003cbr\u003e loss of the many friends and acquaintances now scattered across the world.\u003cbr\u003e Her efforts to stay in touch eventually resulted in poignant, charming, and\u003cbr\u003e often witty notes, an attempt to stay connected to friends in distant places\u003cbr\u003e - friends she appreciated and loved, and refused to lose to this very day, \u003cbr\u003e seven years later.\u003cbr\u003e Now compiled into this single collection, Notes from the 48th North, offers\u003cbr\u003e a stream of consciousness that has been written in moods that range the\u003cbr\u003e emotional gamut, refl ecting her feelings of loss, isolation, and confusion, \u003cbr\u003e whilst also exploring issues that have compelled her to write. One could say\u003cbr\u003e that the Notes continue a conversation that can no longer be held in person\u003cbr\u003e over a cup of tea.\u003cbr\u003e Notes from the 48th North is a must-read for anybody who has travelled, felt\u003cbr\u003e the pangs of friendships long separated, or simply enjoys the poetic nature\u003cbr\u003e of observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isolde Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0994532245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780994532244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Busybird Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.54d","brand":"Isolde Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47452587819263,"sku":"9780994532244","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf446de1-6523-4100-b455-810db914cfe7.jpg?v=1761929308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/notes-from-the-48th-north-isolde-martin-9780994532244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
