"Three Weeks with My Brother" is different from the other Sparks' books that I've read. However, it was very enlightening to learn something about an author whose work I've always enjoyed.
The thirty-something Sparks brothers, living on opposite coasts decide to embark on a three-week journey across the world. Their trip encompasses places like Machu Pichu and Easter Island, opportunities which would be a crime to pass up. When else in their lives will they ever see such mythical places?
As their trip begins, the brothers also begin to reminisce about their lives up to that point. Growing up in poverty, with unusual parents, life was nonetheless pretty good until the untimely deaths of their mother and younger sister Dana. These events caused Nicholas to bury himself in work and family, whereas Micah simply lost all faith in religion, despite his wife's urging. Nicholas took the first step toward recovering his old sense of self by embarking on the trip; now, he feels, Micah should also make an effort toward filling in his own missing pieces.
