She has a nice shop in London, but it's hard to keep it going because her mother is so ill. She needs more and more care and Pippa isn't able to cope with it all. Because she doesn't want to send her mother to a home Pippa is spending every free hour she has at home. When just before Christmas someone steals an expensive dress from her shop it's the last straw. She wants to find the person who's done this to her and she wants the thief to be punished.Yana hasn't had an easy life. Because of cerebral palsy she's in a wheelchair. She's missed so many things that are normal for other people. She works as a translator as that's something she can do from home. Her brother Stanislav is very bright and has been offered to do his PhD in London and he takes his sister with him. They move from Bulgaria to Uxbridge which is a huge change for both of them. Yana can't leave their apartment on her own. It isn't a very nice place, but when she makes contact with one of her neighbors her life suddenly becomes more active. Is life in London what they hoped it would be or is it a disappointment for Yana and Stanislav?Stolen Journey's is a book with two stories and I knew there would be a connection eventually, but I didn't know how that was going to happen. I quite liked that aspect. Yana is such a beautiful woman and she's brave as well. At first life in Uxbridge is really hard for her because she can't go anywhere on her own, but soon she finds kind and loving friendship. Stanislav is obsessed with his research and he forgets to enjoy his life. I could totally imagine him being so fascinated by something that it's all-consuming. He's that kind of person. Sylvia Atipova is great at describing her characters and I felt like I knew them.Pippa does a lot of introspection. She knows both her strong and her weak points. I liked that about her. She's sometimes too hard on herself and she could have used a friend. Life isn't always like that though and I think her situation was described in such a heartfelt and realistic way. I wanted her to have a happy life, but with a mother so ill it was quite a struggle. I think Sylvia Atipova has written about dementia beautifully, with much care and empathy. Illness is something that plays an important part in both stories, but they never become too heavy or totally focused on the health problems. I had no difficulties switching between the two stories and was equally curious about what would happen next in all of the main character's lives.Sylvia Atipova is a great writer. She knows how to tell a story. This book has an unusual international mix of characters which I liked a lot. I love it when a story is original. The topics might be heavy, but I didn't find this a difficult read at all, I actually really enjoyed reading the story and can't praise the author enough. I highly recommend this wonderful book, it's an amazing read.

It’s a novel which shows life is not what it seems and neither are the people in it when seen through the eyes of prejudice or assumption.Hard-nosed boutique owner Pippa is a perfectionist witch when it comes to expectations and her staff but then many people would be when it was the only area of their lives which they had control of. Pippa prides herself on her success in a poor economic climate but at home, when every day is lived just outside of reality, she finds herself tipped over the edge when an expensive dress is stolen right before her eyes. Pippa is my favourite character and went from someone I disliked to someone I championed.Yana is given the freedom from her mother’s attentions over her poor mobility when her brother Stanislav starts a PhD in London and she goes with him to look after their apartment. When they arrive fresh from Bulgaria and she realises the difficulties ahead she reacts to them with a maturity and stoicism beyond her years.This is a feel good story and one which makes you think as you peek in to the lives of people whose individual lives are not easy but who rally and make the best they can out of a poor hand of cards. With ups and downs and surprise encounters, this is a book for the weekend, best read in the garden under a warm sun with a glass of wine to hand.
