Food for the Journey
A Life in Travel
Elizabeth Haynes
Loosely organized around meals, the essays that make up this memoir take the reader to faraway places – researching the author’s father’s time working in Nigeria, attending a traditional funeral in Indonesia and a family wedding in North Carolina, cycling through Cuba, volunteering in the Philippines, and more. Often accompanied by close family members, Haynes observes other cultures with sensitivity, compassion, and gratitude.

The Errant Husband
Elizabeth Haynes
Alternating settings between Cuba in 2005 and Calgary a year earlier, the novel follows Thelma, who is losing her husband, first to Rosa and romantic ideas of Cuba in his writing group, and then more literally in Cuba, to his research, if that is indeed what he is doing when she flies there to join him, only to find him checked out of the hotel.
