Reader and Industry Reviews"...inspiring and amusing. Michelle Sevigny’s story has inspired me to learn about who I am as a person and to embrace the uncertainty of life instead of fighting against it. Five stars." - Sefina Hawke, Readers' Favorite, ★★★★★ "...witty, engaging prose, laced with beautiful phrasing and imagery, a gem of a story." - Irene A.
"....a gift to readers, I nearly missed school pick-up!"
- Karen W. "Michelle Sevigny has captured her journey in a way you'll want to tell others about. This book is a great gift for any adventurer in your life or for anyone looking for a meaningful escape anytime of the year." - Kipawa H.
"These emotive vignettes will engage seasoned hikers and wannabe trekkers alike. With elegant prose, sometimes verging on poetic, and Sevigny’s clever, multilingual word play, Breaking the Fourth Wall establishes Sevigny as a serious and dynamic author of travel writing. This isn’t a book just about Turkey, or even just about travel, making Breaking the Fourth Wall a book with universal appeal."

"Powerful, witty and raw. I felt I was taken on the journey with her, and in turn, on a journey with myself. A fabulous read." - Robyn A.
"I was intrigued right from the start about her experiences with wild camping, interactions with fellow hikers and Michelle's personification of Likya. I thoroughly enjoyed this book." - Ric M.
"You really felt that you were on the journey with her."
- Val H. "I enjoyed learning about the Lycian Way and certain episodes, such as accidentally stumbling upon ancient ruins or the unexpected generosity of the locals, lend genuineness and authenticity to the book. Five stars."
- Gisela Dixon, Readers' Favorite, ★★★★★ |
"Michelle Sevigny is frank and honest throughout this exceptionally good memoir as she shares both the very good and pretty awful moods she experiences, and I felt as though I were sharing the healing process that her journey facilitated.
Her interactions with the dogs she meets along the way, and her yearning to finally meet the new dog she was destined to have as her companion are poignant moments in the story and will, no doubt, affect anyone who’s ever lost a beloved companion dog as strongly as Sevigny’s story affected me.
I loved reading about her interactions with Turkish villagers, the descriptions of the families who shared their meals with her, and her account of the Kangal sheepdogs who guarded her overnight as she slept in an area where she was exposed to predators. Breaking the Fourth Wall: An Uncertain Journey on Turkey's Lycian Way is most highly recommended. Five stars." - Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite, ★★★★★
