This is a strange plot where travel unravels one's own identity, instead of
reinforcing it.

After taking early retirement, the staid Henry Pulling is drawn into the
world of his aunt Augusta, whom he hasn't met for decades.  They travel
together all over Europe, unravelling secrets from her past, and eventually
touching Henry's own identity and upsetting his settled ways. - AM
