About this listen

Dorothy Gilman, famous for her best-selling Mrs. Pollifax mysteries, crafts a novel pulsing with international intrigue and psychological drama. Uncertain Voyage is certain to hold you spellbound with its tale of a timid young American woman who finds herself in situations that would test anyone’s courage.

Melissa Aubrey is touring Europe alone as part of her quest to establish her self-reliance. Still recovering from a nervous breakdown brought on by a disastrous marriage, Melissa is fragile, to say the least. When one of her fellow travelers makes an urgent plea that she deliver a small package to an address in Majorca, Melissa is thrown into a dizzying whirlwind of romance, mystery, and danger.

Narrator Alyssa Bresnahan’s elegant, expressive voice evokes the artistic young heroine’s changing states of mind. With her performance you will experience the thrill of adventure in foreign lands right alongside Melissa.

Not her best

This book was very introspective to the point that it bogged down the story. I usually enjoy Dorothy Gilman’s stand-alone novels more than her Mrs. P novels because they’re deeper explorations but this was deeper than I found enjoyable.

Disappointed

I also really enjoyed the other books by this author but the main character in this one was a bummer. Plus the ending itself was sub par. Oh well.

slow but good

Not a typical espionage thriller, but a good, introspective book. not action packed. This sounds more negative than i intended, I enjoyed it a lot .

This one is apply named. Quite a trip that reminded me of the best parts of myself and those around me. Slow to start for a good reason.

Disappointing

Was this really written by Dorothy Gilman? The introspective story is unlike anything else that I have read by her, and the narrator does the book no favors.

Deep Dive!

I’ve listened to many books by this author, but this one is very different. It had an incredible inner narrative, I think I’ll listen again, as there were quite a few valuable life lessens hidden underneath.

dark but uplifting.<br /> <br />

seemed repetitious in the beginning, but finally I saw the light, just like Michelle. Her strength was uplifting.

Very Satisfying Ending

I enjoyed this book. I really liked the main character and admired her courage. After reading some of the other reviews that stated disappointment with the ending, I was surprised at how satisfying it actually was. Perhaps they were hoping for blood and gore.

Mind Blown!

Dorothy Gilman is (was) such a talented writer. This book is incredibly well written. If you are into psychology and self analysis, this is an amazing psychological suspense novel.
