Official synopsis Publisher
TRAVEL WRITING. What do you do when you suddenly and unexpectedly find yourself with all the time in the world to do whatever you like – and no one now to do it with? Recently retired and even more recently, and traumatically, bereaved, Mary Edmonds found herself in this position. So what did she do? She took herself off to parts of the world many of us haven’t even heard of, let alone know where they are! This delightful book is a poignant yet humorous account of Mary’s first forays out on her own – to Moldova, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Nepal. Along the way, we get to know the people she becomes acquainted with as she carves out a new and adventurous life alone. Full of sharply perceived characters, local history and charming anecdotes, this is a book for all ages, and for those who love travelling, whether in reality or from the comfort of their armchair!
