Description
Years after Leah Lynch's divorce, she's grown tired of dead-end affairs and yearns for a lifelong mate. Although she's a sassy, independent woman living in New York City, she fears attending her daughter's upcoming wedding as an unattached woman. To reflect on her past and invent a new lifestyle with a committed man, she books a flight to Madrid for a soul-searching trip. Not included is meeting Miguel Santiago, an intriguing seatmate, who sidetracks her straight into bed when they land. A Collector of Affections: Tales from a Woman's Heart is a heartfelt travelogue of Leah's life with Miguel and their love story, as he struggles with his commitment to another woman. When diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, he faces his sobering truths. Leah also confronts her reality that transcends the magic of travel and chance meetings. It's then they come to grips with life without one another.

A fulfilling Journey, November 6, 2011 By Joan Bankemper A Collector of Affections: Tales from a Woman's Heart (Paperback) Book review for "A collector of Affections" by Judith Glynn
I found this book to be wonderfully insightful. It explores the psyche of the mature American woman who broke from the mold to explore her self-made identity, not one defined by the norms of our culture. It also explores her struggle with breaking the norm from her own voice, which we experience and see develop though a passionate love affair imbued with sensual lovemaking and emotional growth when boundaries of the heart get redefined.
As a woman, it inspired me to read about the courageous Leah and her adventure of love and sex.
Judith Glynn is a seasoned travel writer. The sites her characters explore are sensuous and rich. There is real joy in traveling with Leah, the main character, as she travels in Europe, the East Coast of the USA and as she explores her boundless growth in finding out who she ultimately is.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.
