Living the good life in the Blue Mountains in NSW, Mary Moody’s life was full. At fifty, she had built a satisfying career as a writer and television presenter which allowed her time to look after her family, house and garden. The only thing missing was time for herself, a chance to reflect on life and its meaning. Like many women of her generation, caught up with the commitments of work and family, Mary had never had a moment alone so she decided to say au revoir. She ran away to live on her own for six glorious months in the rural paradise of southwest France. “Au Revoir” is the story of Mary’s solo journey. It is funny, warm and reflective, as Mary adapts to life as a single person in France. Her account of an escape – with its exhilarating freedom, new experiences and chance for renewal – will inspire every reader to run away from home.
