HomeWorks

Carole's first book took the reader to Yekaterinburg, Gaza City, Goteborg and Taipei, with various other destinations in between. Whilst Southampton, Manchester, Glasgow, and Leeds are not as obviously exotic, you may be surprised by some of her adventures nearer to home. In HomeWorks, her selection of new tales about life, work and travelling around the UK span the late 1960's through to twenty-first century. As you accompany Carole on her journeys, you will discover why packing a torch on a business trip can get you into trouble and how a jacuzzi makes a good meeting room. Spending time with oil executives speaking six different languages poses no problems for her, but trying to understand their technical language does. You may wonder why ninety men were determined to address her as Your Majesty or how come she was standing on a desk quoting Middle English. Her excuse is that she's never been afraid to try something different but you will have to read the whole book to make sense of this!
