On her way to Yugoslavia, Innes Gibson loses her luggage, her patience and her head. She spends the next fortnight trying on a different life as well as another woman’s clothes. Aided and abetted by the enigmatic ‘Duchess’ she reels from sight to sight, drink to drink and man to man, finding out more about herself in two short weeks than in the previous forty years put together.
