The Backpacking Housewife: The Next Adventure

The Backpacking Housewife: The Next Adventure
Janice Horton

The Backpacking Housewife is back in a heartwarming new novel! ‘A feelgood read that reminds us it’s never too late to live the life you want’ SUN They say home is really where the heart is… Lori Anderson should be bursting with happiness. Since leaving behind her life as a housewife to embark on an incredible backpacking adventure she’s met a man she’s fallen head over heels in love with and is living aboard a yacht in the turquoise waters of the sun-drenched Caribbean. She should be instagramming photos of her swimming with dolphins and sipping cocktails at sunset…. and yet Lori finds herself desperately missing her grown-up family, and her normal London life. But when she’s unexpectedly called home, reality hits hard. The urban bustle she used to find exciting is now just exhausting – and why doesn’t it ever stop raining? If there’s one thing Lori has learnt it’s that you have to fight for what might make you truly happy – so Lori is determined not to let her chance of a little slice of paradise slip through her fingers…. Readers are loving The Backpacking Housewife: ‘In reading this lovely book we get to step through the screen of our laptop or tablet, right into paradise…wonderful’ Mrs Wheddon Reviews ‘We all dream of just packing up and moving on at some point and this housewife has done just that…fantastic’ Amanda, Goodreads ‘An exciting adventure…definitely a top summer holiday read’ Rachel’s Random Reads ‘I absolutely loved this book and I highly recommend you one click it as soon as you can’ Linda, Goodreads ‘A great beach read – or better yet – a great book to read on the plane ride to your next travels’ Deah Reads
