Displacement: a travelogue

 

Displacement: a travelogue / Lucy Knisley, 156 pgs.

Despite being in their 90's with lots of health issues, the author's grandparents want to take one last cruise.  She decides to make this possible by joining them and here is her memoir of the trip.  There are many events that make this sound like the worst idea ever but also some triumphs that make it worthwhile.  Interspersed with excerpts from her grandfather's memoir of his WWII involvement, you get a bigger picture of who her grandparents are and why this cruise is important.  The drawings are beautiful and evoke the sea and scenes around them.
