Nick and Nancy Take a Trip

A witty and engaging, tongue-in-cheek travelogue, Nick and Nancy Take a Trip is a tru-ish story of a couple of 'oldies' living on a Greek island who realise they need transport to get around. On deciding to buy a scooter in Britain, it tells of their bumbling attempts to drive it from London to Greece. The conversational, two-sided narrative draws the reader in from the start, delivering a light-hearted look at how the couple's relationship evolves as they face various obstacles on their adventure across Europe. In the early morning, under a foreboding sky, they wobble their way out of South London. Will the scooter fall apart? Will their relationship survive getting lost in Belgium or their first accident? What happens with the German biker gang on the night-train to Verona? Why does the ship's steward only speak in nods and who are the silent diners? An 'adventure before dementia', Nick and Nancy Take a Trip is both humorous and touching as it explores a couple's personalities, habits, foibles and prejudices. The author's unique voice makes is a must for your shelves and is a perfect holiday read.
