Tea with Elephants by Robin Jones Gunn is a delightful women’s fiction travel novel and is part of a new series The Suitcase Sisters. The beautiful cover had me wondering about what sort of adventures Lily Garden and Fern Espinoza were going to have as they traveled through Africa. Lily and Fern were friends who met at summer camp many years ago, and now they had an opportunity to fulfill their dream of traveling to Africa.
This was a sweet and well written story told from Fern’s point of view. I was very engaged with Fern and Lily and enjoyed watching them both transform as they traveled through Africa. The descriptions of their time in Africa were mesmerizing and I enjoyed making new friends with the Suitcase Sisters during their adventure. The author knows the heart of women and that comes through in the characters.
This is a delightful story where you will make new friends, travel through Africa, and learn a little more about yourself. I was so drawn in and look forward to more time with the Suitcase Sisters. I highly recommend
