Description
When a fifty something divorcee and grandmother launches herself onto the European public transport networks and runs away to Istanbul, there has to be a reckoning and a return, whether it’s when the money runs out, or when the long-suffering family decide they’d rather have her somewhere they can keep an eye on her.
Can coming back possibly be as much fun as running away? Maybe, when it takes her via the Danube Delta in Romania, across the heartland of Mitteleuropa twenty-odd years after the tearing down of the Iron Curtain, and north through Scandinavia as far as Trondheim.
Did she learn anything from the experience of travelling alone for six months, or did it raise more questions than it answered? Did she find herself (or anybody else for that matter), and would she ever be able to settle down again and resolve the dilemma of what it means to be ‘home’?
‘The Long Way Back’ is the sequel to ‘Single to Sirkeci’, the continuing story of an ordinary woman who made a series of extraordinary choices and just kept going.
The third volume of her adventures, ‘Lost on Bohemia’ is currently in production, and planned for release in Autumn 2025.
