We will refer to this book on our future trip to New England. This is both a travelogue and a guide, and is written and organised in an engaging way.

I actually ended up reading the book out of order, treating each separate chapter as a separate little mini-trip for me to take somewhere - much like like the various actual little short travels that I have been taking around New England over the past few years. And like those trips, each book section has simultaneously provided quite a lot for me to learn about (almost surprisingly so at times), all while still feeling oddly familiar to this native New Englander at the same time, no matter where I had been brought to. It's honestly made for a great reading experience. "Travels Through the Heart and Soul of New England" has been a wonderful opportunity to get to know my already-beloved home region on an even deeper level.

I received a free copy of, Travels through the Heart and Soul of New England, by Ted Reinstein, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have always been fascinated by New England though I have never been. The pictures are beautiful in this book, the diners look so inviting. Such great stories in this book, a great book for fans of New England.

I’ve lived in New England all my life… With the exception of six years teaching in Virginia. Many years in Connecticut and many years in eastern Massachusetts, and we are getting ready to retire to southern Maine! So I was really interested in reading this book and loved all of it. It is full of fascinating facts about many places that I have been and loved over the years. A lot of the facts were new to me, and I appreciated learning about the people and stories of these places. This isn’t an ordinary travel book… It’s more like a series of interesting stories about the people and places who live here in New England. Highly recommend, no matter where you live!
