EN ROUTE: The Best Is Yet To Be (En Route: Memoir and Affirmations) Kindle Edition

by Elora Canne (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 20 ratings
"Road-trips and relationships, what could possibly go wrong?"

Our road-trip started out as a one-year travel holiday for my husband and I, but it soon became clear that we were learning more about each other, more rapidly than we had in our, then, 25 years together – hence road-trips and relationships.

Travel the world with Elora as she navigates external and internal delights on her path to finding her voice.

Elora speaks openly and with vulnerability about her relationships across all dynamics.

EN ROUTE: The Best is Yet To Be - covers the challenges and elations of travelling in a campervan, fighting off cabin fever and coyote's and peeling away relationship detritus as Elora and her husband travel the world. A sizeable segment of their travels included family and friends which came with its own humour of entanglement and unexpected train rides. Included are the growing pains endured along the way as Elora discusses her angst in coping with what should be a memorable adventure.

Elora's candid disclosures are sometimes sombre, sometimes humourous, always enlightening.

REVIEW:

By Kat Foster

A brilliant book about finding oneself on a journey around the world.


REVIEW:

By Barbara Randell

Elora takes us on a world tour, through America, Europe, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, South Africa, and even parts of Australia. We visit some tourist sites, but do not see them through the glitz and glamour of the tourist brochures. Most of the time, we visit places that tourists never see, the homes of people just like us, but whom we have never met.

Elora’s husband is her constant companion through her travels, and we learn about their mutual likes and dislikes. Learning to accept and love each other more strongly, despite those differences, is one of the outcomes of their travels.

Frequently they are joined by other family members, and close friends. Elora watches their interaction with each other, and draws lessons from them, which should benefit us all. She returns home, a wiser stronger woman.

Review

A travelling memoir, a new life.

We follow the footsteps of the author and her family as they immigrate to Australia. Alot of travelling also is documented and many memories of adventures they had.

The main theme seemed to be 'Who does that?' as the author navigates around certain situations, as you do.

Absolutely loved the travel aspect, familiar American places such like Colorado River, San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, Central Park, that I pleasantly acknowledged. England and the famous Oxford Street, Bath, Avebury, Wales and for me the memories of The Lake District, Cumbria.

There were many laugh out loud moments for me, remembering in particular her adult sons New Year shenanigans and also a seperate incident of the unique high five.

Oh there were so many quotes I highlighted and it came at a good time that I needed them. I particularly took note of the South African food, cooked on a braai of course. 'pap and sous' sounded intriguing and especially 'bobotie' and Elora is adamant it has to have Mrs Balls Chutney in it.

All in all this is a memoir that is like a life tonic, you end up feeling on top of the world. This is definitely a 5 star rating/review and I suggest it would make an excellent choice as a bookclub pick, plenty to talk about.

Pauline Reid

A tale of a journey of discovery and finding place.

With emotional dilemmas, personal growth and challenges along the way. Throughout this, the importance of family and friendship when a sense of place is unstable. Alongside new places and exploration lies love, difficulties and learning in new cultures. I felt part of Elora's family with this read.

Her storytelling encapsulated the everyday and the extreme with depth, emotion and relatability. There is a special insight into her thoughts and experiences that make you invested and part of the book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good tale for lots of Note Taking
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024

    With the author we visit many places in the world and with the author we visit many places in her heart and soul. Filled with insights she wants to share and her very personal perspective on how to life one's best life among those we care about the most and also those we may meet only briefly… I found myself following her through some places I have also been in this world both physically (deserts and roads in California) emotionally, and thoughtfully, and then found myself bouncing along in other places I have never seen before.
    In some ways I think this tale could have been many volumes and I stand in awe of the challenge of capturing such a wide reflection of one’s life and growth and then succeeding to capture all of this in a couple hundred pages. All every bit as challenging as a ultra marathon would have been for the body and spirit.
    More than any other memoir I have read in the past year, this memoir revealed where I could use the notes highlights feature for many “aha” sections where I found myself in places I have known but also many “go back” sections where I might appreciate more deeply on a second read and slower pace. I loved the bus runners and it would be cool if we had those for life.

    I really enjoyed Elora Canne’s book, ‘EN ROUTE: The Best Is Yet To Be’. It’s riveting and Honest! First off, I love traveling. When I was reading this book, I felt like I was on a journey, living vicariously through her. I loved her introspective proses and attention to detail. It made me feel as though I was along for the ride. I could really experience the scenery; all my senses were engaged. Elora has a keen mind. I love her deepest thoughts, her questions, and her point of view. Even though we are from very different cultures, her thoughts were still significant and arresting. The indelible human element was present throughout the book, and these are common to us all. This is not just a travel book but a book about traversing relationships as we go through different phases in our lives. Thanks Elora for sharing your insights about life, love, and family. I highly recommend ‘EN ROUTE: The Best Is Yet To Be’.

    This inspiring book, written with such honesty, follows a road trip taken by the author and her husband of many years.
    It contains some great lines, such as “To be perfect means to stagnate.”
    This is a really good read……. “Learning to re-define the meaning of love after 30 years.”

    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023
    While reading "En Route," I enjoyed Canne's journeys with her husband on different continents at different times. But it was her internal journeys that evoked understanding--I could relate and empathize! I also enjoyed her experiences and observations as a visitor to the States, but especially in the western states because so many locations are very familiar to me. The author is honest in her personal experiences as a woman, wife, and mother, which made this book that much more refreshing.

    En Route is a fabulous story of adventures around the globe that will have you laughing and longing to see these countries in person. My husband and I sometimes get on each other’s nerves on a weeklong vacation, so when Elora Canne hits the road in a camper with her husband for a yearlong trip, the confined space leads to relationship issues. But Canne discovers more about herself and finds her voice. And the best part of En Route is that she shares what she’s learned about making relationships last. You don’t want to miss this inspiring read.

    I don't often read memoirs so I didn't know what to expect from En Route: The Best Is Yet To Be, by Elora Canne.

    This memoir follows a South African family emigrating to Australia. Author Elora Canne takes us on a sweeping adventure, enabling me to see my country of Australia through a newcomer's eyes. I also enjoyed experiencing all the places she visited throughout the book. The writing was straightforward and honest, simple yet deep. I really enjoyed the journey this book took me on. Her internalised guilt as a mother really struck a chord with me, and I felt less alone as a parent knowing others feel that way as well. All up this is a must read and an easy 5 stars from me.

    There were so many quotes I wanted to share from En Route, but here are just a couple of my favourites:

    "I discovered that, if I just gave it a chance, I was brave enough to try something new. That was all, just to try."

    "Deep down, I knew it was the wrong thing for me to do, but felt compelled to be the perfect people-pleaser, in spite of becoming my own worst enemy as a mother."

    3.0 out of 5 stars Hidden gems of acquired wisdom
    Reviewed in Australia on April 21, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Woven throughout this seemingly straightforward recount of ordinary (is there such a thing?) lives are the sometimes simple, sometimes profound lessons and insights Elora Canne has gained about herself, about life, about family, love and relationships.
    Authenticity is a buzzword that's flooding social media and self-growth courses at the moment. Often, it's so self-focused as to border on narcissism.
    Whereas Canne's honest reflections, her focus on the minutiae of life, marriage and family display unvarnished authenticity that is deeply affecting in its naivety, its sincerity and its focus on taking personal responsibility; on the art of loving compromise that allows for supporting and nurturing one's own individuality as well as that of those we love and care for.
    A deceptively simple yet captivating memoir.
