Travel Guide
Have a holiday away in Leeds and Morecambe but Keep Your Friends close!
The Midland Hotel in Morecambe is a major feature of the novel. A lovely spot for a weekend away in real life, but not in this novel! The locations around the hotel help to build up a picture of Morecambe itself and its holiday spot reputation. Imagine reading this book in this very hotel!
Leeds is also central to the novel although locations are in the background and there to build up a picture of the characters, where they live and work. Leeds has a brilliantly interesting art world as showcased in this novel which is definitely worth an explore. You also get to see the city of contrasts – on one hand, there’s the obvious wealth and beside it, the inner-city poverty.
