In Wanderlust, A Naive Adventurer in Europe & Asia, a young American woman explores her shaky relationship as she and her boyfriend trip, taste, tipple, and traipse across Europe and Asia in the months before the hostages are taken in Iran. It's a sometimes hilarious, often poignant read for anyone who's ever dreamed of traveling around the world with somebody they think they love. What makes the book particularly unforgettable is that the couple's adventures are observed against the background of a world about to vanish forever.
