On the whole, however, Morris's choice is excellent. Half the book is designated 'Home', which means England: the other half is 'Away', and this includes Wales, Scotland, Ireland, various European destinations, Turkey, and a selection of random comments on cultures, religions and travel in general which is called 'Exotica'. Sometimes the fragments quoted are too small to be meaningful, at other times they are just right, and at other times I wondered just what the omission dots omitted, and how the piece would read without Morris's expert editing.
Virginia Woolf had a lively sense of place and delighted in `lighting accidentally. . . upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Following Virginia's footprints from her beloved Sussex and Cornwall to wartime London, Italy and the Riviera to Greek mountains and the wilds of Spain, Jan Morris intersperses swift verbal sketches of a Greek peasant wedding, a fenland sky, an elderly spinster in a hotel dining room in Italy, or Bognor pier in the rain with her own brief, telling comments on both writer and subject.
