| Summary | "The Luck of Thirteen: Wanderings and Flight through Montenegro and Serbia" by Mr. and Mrs. Jan Gordon is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This account details the experiences of the authors, Jan and Jo, as they navigate their journey through war-torn Montenegro and Serbia during a tumultuous period marked by military conflict and humanitarian missions. The book captures their attempts to balance medical relief efforts while embarking on an adventure through the stunning yet challenging landscapes of the Balkans. At the start of the book, the Gordons recount their recent experiences working in medical missions, highlighting the chaos and difficulties they faced, including a humorous recounting of their motor vehicle getting stuck in mud. The couple embarks on a journey that combines their professional obligations with the desire for a holiday as they explore the towns and people they encounter, vividly describing the sights, sounds, and characters along the way. They navigate various challenges such as managing the local language, meeting other professionals, capturing the war's impact while interacting with soldiers and civilians, all while maintaining a lighthearted tone, reflective of their unique relationship and camaraderie.
