About This Item
In very good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
The honeymoon - no other holiday inspires so much anticipation, or has such potential for blissful happiness, or for disappointment.
Using extracts from fiction and from real-life diaries and letters, Honeymoons takes you on a rollercoaster of an emotional journey into the heart of human longing, to examine what it is we are seeking, and what we expect, when we embark on marriage. There are real journeys to Pisa and Rome, through Switzerland and India and to the dales and moors of Yorkshire. We hear about the consummations of royal weddings; and about the dire consequences of marriages of convenience and those entered into with calculation. We journey in time from the very public wedding night of a seventeenth century couple, to the honeymoon of Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic in Sri Lanka.
The road is littered with pleasures great and small, not to mention surprises, disappointments, cads and one or two corpses.
