Sinossi

In "Diary of a Pilgrimage," Jerome K. Jerome vividly captures the absurdities of travel through a humorous lens, chronicling a journey to the sacred sites of the Thames and the Cotswolds. Blending elements of memoir and fiction, Jerome employs a conversational, satirical style that invites readers into his reflections on the nature of pilgrimage and the quirks of humanity encountered along the way. The narrative is intricately woven with descriptions that illuminate the peculiarities of both landscape and societal conventions, creating a rich tapestry of early 20th-century England. Jerome K. Jerome, known for his comedic prowess and keen observational skills, built his writing career on exploring the idiosyncrasies of everyday life. His previous work, "Three Men in a Boat," established him as a master of humor and wit. Influenced by his personal experiences and travels, Jerome's adept ability to portray mundane occurrences through a comedic lens is evident in this work, reflecting a post-Victorian sensibility that sought to redefine the traveler's narrative. "Diary of a Pilgrimage" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate humor intertwined with insight. Jerome's reflections not only entertain but also provoke thought about the nature of faith and the experience of travel. This book is an essential read for both lovers of travel narratives and fans of comedic literature.

    Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian. 
    Faced with midlife & realising that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of travelling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip. 
    Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected. 
    This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded & chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux & can't eat anything foreign, & her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe. 
    From an ill-fated yoga class in India, ancient ruin humiliation in Italy, to getting sloshed at a charity festival in rural England, Liz’s endless mishaps and hysterical far-flung flops make for an unforgettable experience that no family could ever forget. 
    Even if they wanted to. 
    Armed with humour, optimism, this feel-good hilarious pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure. 
    Prepare to laugh, cry & curl your toes. 
    Clench those buttocks, fellow traveller. We're off on a (real) family vacation...! 
    What readers are saying:  
    "…brilliantly entertaining writing…read it all in one sitting..."
