Where have you come from and where are you going?

I loved this concept of interweaving lives of people through travel. I've always loved "people watching" at airports, curious about where they came from, where they were going, why they were going, etc. This book did a wonderful job of giving snapshot looks into these character's lives and giving the reader just enough information to tell a portion of their story. 

Some of the plots were a little clunky, in my opinion, but overall I loved the effect and I think it makes one really think about what it means to be one of many; we're all trying to get somewhere.
