Book Description:
“An endearing and humane story about a family and its sticky web of secrets and misunderstandings . . . one of those rare books you could recommend to anyone and know that they’ll love it.”
–The Australian Women’s Weekly
Harriet Turner knows all about journeys. She’s arranged hundreds of them for her family’s travel agency. Now Harriet is joining her adopted sister, Lara, to lead a group through the Cornish countryside. But when Lara fails to appear at the airport as planned, Harriet finds herself in uncharted territory and suddenly alone with a busload of eccentric seniors. As the tour wends its way through the picturesque landscape, Harriet must uncover her sister’s whereabouts and confront long-held family secrets involving Lara’s arrival twenty-five years ago . . . not to mention keeping track of more baggage–real and emotional–than she ever expected.
“With every book, Monica McInerney becomes more skilled at juggling plot complexities and giving depth to her characters. . . . Perfect [for] weekend reading.”
–Marie Claire (Australia)
“A book to treasure that is clever, amusing and heart-warmingly touching.”
–Woman’s Day (Australia)

I really enjoyed this book. Revolving around an Australian family and their family-owned travel business, each character had their own distinctive voice and plot. A little bit of romance, a little bit of suspense...I breezed thru this one because I couldn't put it down! I am goign to make an effort to track the rest of Mcinerney's titles on PBS.

This was a wonderful book! You get to read alot about the seaside in England, and a little town in Australia. Gives some insight into what it's like to be a "foster" child to those with other children.
