Bookends Summer Staycation 2021 | Where is next on your travel bucket list of places to visit?

Our Bookends Summer Staycation is drawing to a close! We’ve loved getting to know our authors a bit more and their summer habits. To round off our summer staycation series, we asked our authors one last question: Where is next on your travel bucket list of places to visit? Find out what they said below – maybe you’ll find some holiday inspiration of your own!

Rosanna Ley, author of THE ORANGE GROVE

I’m thinking about islands. The Greek islands. All the lovely islands close to Italy, Sardinia and Sicily. That should last me a while…

Jill Mansell, author of AND NOW YOU’RE BACK

I need to visit Oxford! Last summer I was all booked up to attend a literary festival there and stay in college accommodation, and I was looking forward to it SO much. I haven’t been since I was a child, so I want to see all the sights with adult eyes. Might have to set a book there in the near future – every time I see the city on TV, I melt with love for it.

Kate Sawyer, author of THE STRANDING

New Zealand, to see a whale…

Harriet Walker, author of THE WEDDING NIGHT

After being locked down in London this past year, I’m looking forward to exploring other cities again. I can’t wait to get back to Vienna and Paris but my dream destination is probably another beach – Mauritius, maybe.
