About This Book

On her way to Yugoslavia in 1960s, 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. Reeling from sight to sight, drink to drink, and from man to man, she finds out more about herself in those two weeks than the last 40 years put together. Aided and abetted by the enigmatic Duchess, she returns to Cardiff a little wiser and a lot merrier. Deliciously funny, acerbic, and honest, the story is as fresh and full of life as when it first appeared in 1968.
