Sixty Summers - Release May 2019
I'm very excited about my new novel to be released in May 2019. It was a huge job to research as it follows the characters through six countries in Europe. In keeping with the plot, I had backpacked extensively in Europe in 1978 and so followed my own path to guide these characters on their later in life journey of self-discovery.Having now crossed the threshold of sixty myself, it was so interesting to make the comparisons of then and now. To reflect on the choices that women of my generation made and why we made them. And, of course, the compromises we made.My characters all have very different lives but each needs to pause and reflect on the past in an effort to enrich the 'third age' of their lives.We all get to be a bit more annoying as we get older, and the friends discover that travelling together forty years later is quite a different story from the first time around. As well as reflecting on life, they get into some mishaps and there are plenty of tears and laughter along the way. I hope you enjoy it!
