Kate Wills was not expecting to be divorced and restarted her life, but her job as a travel journalist offered her the perfect opportunity to escape. She discovered that throughout history, there have been astonishing women who have broken free from more burdensome expectations, inspiring her to take that trip. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 272 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 07 July 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bonnier Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf Joan Didion were correct in her assertion that we construct narratives to sustain our lives, then a travel narrative would undoubtedly rank among the most compelling. I had a history of using stories to escape from reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKate Wills was taken aback when her marriage ended after less than a year. She had not foreseen having to start over in a life that had, with her partner, appeared so secure for the previous 12 years. Fortunately, her career as a travel writer provided her with the ideal opportunity to flee from it all. However, this time, her jet-setting felt different. Kate felt more alone, particularly in the midst of never-ending hen dos, weddings, and baby showers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe decided to look into history for female travelers to inspire her. From a 4th-century nun to a globe-girdling cyclist, Kate discovers that throughout history, there have been astonishing women who have broken free from more burdensome expectations, clearing the path for us to do the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Trip of One's Own is a humorous and heartfelt invitation to embark on that journey: to Paris, to Whitstable, and perhaps down that street you've always wondered about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 196 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781788704328\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate Wills","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094460526842,"sku":"9781788704328","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657299607171_book.jpg?v=1657776308","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-trip-of-ones-own-hope-heartbreak-and-why-travelling-solo-could-change-your-life-9781788704328","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
