The Voyage Out 

Twenty-four-year-old Rachel Vinrace is launched into a journey of self-discovery when she embarks on a sea voyage to South America with her aunt and uncle. Originally from a London suburb, she meets a menagerie of interesting people while on the trip and strikes up life-changing conversations with them. As her experiences start to shape her into a worldly woman, she begins to find her sense of self and determine what she wants most in the world.
