Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Does life really begin at 40, or 50 or can you ever start to live again?
Coffee Tea The Caribbean & Me
What you need to know before your trail
Jo has been left with memories of her beloved husband for company in her large manor house in Cumbria that until recently she ran as a hotel. She remembers he used to tell her that the time to be happy is now but now never seems to arrive for her.
With both of her grown up sons having moved away long ago to Barbados and London respectively, Jo fears that the only journey she’s going to be on anytime soon is the single journey to old age. She’s got some decisions to make if she’s going change that and her friend Hattie convinces her that the Caribbean is calling…but wait isn’t that the cry of a potential suitor for Jo, in good old Cumbria? Which direction will she take?
Travel Guide
From Cumbria to the sandy carefree beaches of the Caribbean. Sounds like a dream right? Whether you are young or in the older bracket like Jo?
Age is definitely just a number for women such as Jo. Yorkshire becoming a yawn,although the beautiful Kirkton house is rather nice and relaxing and would be an ideal place to relax if you didn’t work there, or the charm and calling of the Caribbean?
Hattie is that friend you want with you during your time of need. She’s funny, always has a cocktail to hand, likes a bit of a dance and refuses to leave her friend’s spirit in Yorkshire’s dips and valleys on a windy and very wet day. Again though, Kirkton House looks like a picture postcard setting that really should be a real hotel.
There’s something charming about how a woman who feels that life is over for her moves to another country and claims that mojo back. And that’s not just the name of a cocktail. It’s a woman on a holiday and a mission.
