Review

"Trailing is a wonderfully realized memoir about a woman's struggle to obtain a stronger sense of self, save her marriage and her family, but more than anything, to save herself. Duncombe's language is raw, poetic and stunningly paced. This book is a must read."--Indie Reader Reviews

"A mesmerizing memoir. Duncombe lets us in on her very profound journey of personal growth, in fascinating circumstances fraught with danger and frustration. I love the way that she let us see her struggles, without coming across as a victim. Instead, she bravely reveals her own flaws while sharing the beauty, drama, camaraderie, and risks inherent in her time spent in Africa as a trailing spouse." - Candace Walsh, author of Licking the Spoon and Dear John I Love Jane

"Few books offer so revealing a glimpse into the life of an American wife in Africa, where staying alive mentally and intellectually can be just as important as physical survival."

-John Baxter, author of We'll Always Have Paris and An Immoveable Feast
