Bookends Beach Party 2019 | Where in the world is top of your bucket list to visit?

As our Bookends Beach Party series draws to a close for another year, we ask our authors one final question: Where in the world is top of your bucket list to visit?

Beth O’Leary, author of The Flatshare

I would really love to visit the southern United States and spend a couple of months out there, exploring. I’ve never done a big travelling trip – I’m a home bird, really, and a bit scared by the idea of setting off on an adventure like that – but maybe one day I’ll muster the courage…

Ruth Hogan, author of Queenie Malone’s Paradise Hotel

Venice in winter, travelling on The Orient Express, dressed in full costume and pretending that I’m in an episode of Poirot or an Agatha Christie film.

Deborah Moggach, author of The Carer

Snorkelling. It’s the purest joy. I’d like to try the Great Barrier Reef or, a bit nearer, the Red Sea.
