Resumen del Editor

The Drive follows Teresa Bruce on her 2003 road trip through Mexico and onto the Pan-American Highway, in a rickety camper with her old dog and new husband in tow. Bruce first set off on the exact same route in 1973, her parents at the helm and their two young daughters in tow, as a reaction to the accidental death of their youngest child, Bruce's brother John John. Her attempt to follow the route, using her mother's travel journal as an anecdotal guide, is as much about her need for exploration as it is about trying to understand her parents and their pain, and to finally begin to heal her own wounds over the accident.

Bruce is immensely talented in bringing scenery of Central and South America to life - countries from Mexico and Guatemala to Bolivia and Argentina are detailed with her innate attention to detail and sense of storytelling. The Drive details a really incredible journey through these beautiful, at times corrupt and war-torn countries, across roads that are as likely to be barricaded by guerrillas or washed out by floods as they are to be passable.

The Drive is travel writing at its best, combining moments of deep heartbreak with unimaginable joy over a panoply of unforgettable settings.

A nice read

I listened to this in just a few days. It kept my attention the whole time. I hope to travel the Pam American highway one day.

Interesting for the journey

I think I might prefer it in print. I enjoyed the story overall and I feel it was well written but the narration throws me a bit. It's not bad narration by the author but it doesnt add to it for me. I got kind of sick of the voice and bland telling but there is still something special about the author telling their own story.

A soul affirming journey through continents and time.

One of the best books I’ve ever read. This book is equal parts memoir, travel diary, adventure story and catharsis. For anyone who has experienced loss this book articulates the ephemeral, transient and never ending process of healing.

Well-Written Personal Experience

The author is a talented writer. The story seemed shallow - find a camper her family abandoned 30 years ago in Argentina and her personal feelings for a brother who died 30 years ago were hard to indentify with. What caught my interest most was why she and her husband would quite their very good jobs, sell their house, and go on this trek. For what?
Their travel experiences through Central and South America taught me those places are not places for normal people to visit by car.
