"Watching the chap being led away, his large rucksack being carried by one of his burly escorts, it dawned on me that I was witnessing someone who had forsaken all of his worldly goods and possessions, voluntarily or otherwise, and attempted to better his situation by whatever means necessary, potentially knowing that, at any point on his journey, the whole thing would be thwarted and it would be a total waste of time, effort and money. I, on the other hand, had voluntarily given up most of my material possessions for some frivolous exercise in frippery; or that’s what it genuinely felt like at that very moment. The dichotomy of two people, separated by a distance of a few feet and a quirk of birth and fate, could not have been more potently or starkly felt right then".
What exactly is a mid-life crisis and how do you know if you have one ? This question was the driving force behind an adventure which started with selling a house and quickly progressed to landing in Portugal to begin travelling in a way that few get to experience.
Jason Reynolds was a 45-year-old high-flying BBC executive in a good but unfulfilling job when he decided to throw it all in: the job, the house, the security, the routine. What took place was an adventure around Western Europe of hilarious and baffling proportions. This is the first instalment of that adventure, taking in many countries and many characters and described in a fun, irreverent and pacey way that will have you page-turning quicker than you expected.
Veering between curmudgeonly, dry, wry and endlessly fascinated, Reynolds takes the reader with him on the journey in such detail that it feels as if you're his co-pilot. It might even make you want to book a trip you weren't expecting !
Hop on and enjoy the ride.
