Produktbeschreibung
A burnt-out media executive. A chance to leave it all behind. Can she take that leap into the unknown, or is she doomed to fail? Alison was stuck going nowhere. Her shiny career had well and truly lost its lustre, despite the money her TV bosses were offering. Nothing would make up for the sacrifices she'd made these past fifteen years. When she spotted an opportunity for her other half Down Under, could she leave behind a well-paid job and all that was familiar to up sticks? When the restoration on the couple's dream home became unaffordable, they were off once again, crisscrossing the planet in a whirlwind journey of love, life, and passports. The Accidental Plus One: Travel Tales from a Trailing Spouse is a heart-warming and humorous true story, that proves sometimes love leads us on the most unexpected journeys. If you like stories about brave but foolhardy risk-takers, quirky characters, and amusing tales from departure lounges and arrival halls, you'll love this fun, globetrotting adventure.

Autorenporträt
Alison Ripley Cubitt started her writing career at age nine by winning first prize in a writing competition with a pony book. Some years later, she left New Zealand with the ability to make a white sauce without a recipe, carry three plates at once, and ride a horse (though not at the same time). Dreaming of becoming a copywriter, she landed a job as the receptionist in an advertising agency in Sydney that made the TV series Mad Men's work culture look tame.But the lure of London proved too hard to resist, and she left Australia. Landing in London at the right time, she got her break in television production and lasted 15 years, working on Channel 4's anarchic The Big Breakfast and at Walt Disney and the BBC.For the past four years, she has divided her time between Melbourne, Australia and Jane Austen country, England.An accomplished author of non-fiction, including two travel guides and three memoirs, her literary achievements encompass works of fiction, from screenplays to short stories and thrillers. The Accidental Plus One: Travel Tales from a Trailing Spouse is her ninth published book.
