The Journey Begins

I arrived in Paris in February 2015 and set off to the South of France by train – following the footsteps of my character, Iris Turner, who undertakes this journey in 1956.

While this her first foray to the continent, I have been to France for extended trips on many occasions, so it was an interesting exercise to look at it all through her eyes and think about her impressions as someone who has never been abroad before.
