About the Author:
Hilary Linstead and Elisabeth Davies went to school together in the UK before their lives took very different turns. Hilary left England for Australia at 21, pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. Discovering she couldn't make a full-time living as an actress, Hilary became a casting director, eventually becoming the first theatrical agent for directors and designers in Australia, representing clients like Neil Armfield, Gillian Armstrong, Baz Luhrmann, Louis Nowra, and Wendy Harmer. Elisabeth went to Cambridge University, graduated in Economics, and became a civil servant and freelance journalist. Meeting up again much later in life, they discovered their mutual love of travel and embarked on the series of adventures that are the subjects of this book. Both continue to travel to exotic locations and indulge their love of interesting food, art, theater, and music.
Review:
A fun, fast-moving, feel-good memoir. * The Sunday Times * Talk about the Change of Life. You'll never be the same after reading this. Batty but brilliant Hilary and Liz insist we follow them to the ends of the earth. We get recipes, an intelligent travel book and a lesson in Living. These two very different old friends travelled everywhere honestly and thoughtfully. It's completely original - insightful, moving and very funny, a glorious experience proving for always, that if you seize the day and have the courage, you need never grow old. -- Miriam Margolyes A gem of a light-hearted real-life read. * Western Daily Press (Press Association review) *
