Why a Booktrail?
Destination: Venice, Falmouth, London Departure Time: 2000s
Emily Barr is one of the writers you have to read as she is an ardent traveller and seems to write about journeys and places in a way that no one else can.
The Perfect Lie
What you need to know before your trail
Lucy Riddick has always dreamed of going to Venice. There is a picture of the city on her mother’s wall which has always inspired her and now, with her past having finally caught up with her, she needs to go there to escape, and fast.
Venice seems the ideal place to lose herself. The secret she’s been keeping from her boyfriend and her friends has finally caught up with her and Lucy needs to disappear.
But when she gets there, she finds the one thing she was trying to escape waiting for her. What on earth is she going to do now?
Travel Guide
Falmouth
Setting off from Falmouth – “As soon as I stepped off the train, I knew it was home. It was quirky and accepting and interesting, and it was far from London, and it was not somewhere that occurred to people.I had settled here easily.”
Venice
Once we get to the city of lights and explore the canals this is the way to see the city through the eyes of someone who loves to travel and who lives and breathes travel. Emily Barr knows her travel and places you right there in the moment and the setting. The Grand Canal is even on the cover.
So not only do we get Falmouth and Venice, there is talk of London and even a brief sojourn in Paris so you will need time to savour. Bring your passport!
