Subtitled “Travels with my grandmother’s ashes,” Krissy Keen’s writing is entertaining and insightful. She describes her tough and quirky childhood dominated by her fiercely protective grandmother Dragitsa, aka Lotty. Krissy’s journey to Slovenia and Egypt unfolds as she describes her determination to find out about her heritage.
The influence of fairy tales, dragons, post-traumatic stress disorder, microbiomes, epigenetics and cultural cuisine are all explored with honesty and clarity. Although it is a true story, Kneen’s writing is lyrical, humorous, and seductive. It teaches a great deal.
