Here at Visordown HQ we're bombarded with (well, we get one or two a year -Ed) stories from budding writers who've just returned from their once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Usually to far flung destinations like The Alps, or, if they're really intrepid; Norway.
Now although these adventures are clearly enough to inspire the adventurer to put pen to paper, usually the result is a bland what-I-did-on-my-holidays monologue that makes you realise that cramming yourself onto a tube train everyday and sitting in an office full of boring wankers is probably a better reality than the adventure you've always promised yourself.
Not this book. Bonjour! Is This Italy is based around one of life's biggest clichés: man in dull job seeks to escape the reality of life and find enlightenment and adventure abroad.
Author Kevin Turner, a former financial journalist, pens this witty and self-deprecating tale of mishap, confusion and a girl. There's always a girl.
Save yourself the inevitable loneliness, mind-numbing boredom and piles that are often part and parcel of a cross-continent 'adventure' and adopt Kevin's adventure instead.
