Swept, Love with a Chance of Drowning

[fbailey]

Likely to be the next Eat Pray Love, Swept by Torre DeRoche is the story of a woman (Torre, both the writer and protagonist) who is swept off her feet, both by love and adventure on the South Pacific. Torre meets Argentinian charmer Ivan during a chance encounter, changing both their lives. Ivan leaves his day job to embark on a travel journey with Torre across the Pacific Ocean.

The only stumbling block: Torre's fear of the ocean. Don't be fooled by the book's obvious love theme. Although an initial romantic encounter sets into motion a two year journey of self discovery for a couple in love, there are aspects of the book that appeal to the adventure-hungry and travel-obsessed readers too.
