Over ore than a decade, this intense romance developed out of an illicit and highly sensual affair which survived many hurdles. Freed from the ties of work and family by retirement and bereavement, the couple embark on a trip of a lifetime around the coasts of Europe, with its idyllic beaches, historic cities, fascinating art galleries and ancient sites..

A contemporary take on embracing life and passion in our autumn years, A Way to Go is an accomplished and multi-layered first novel which will appeal to readers of a certain age, keen to be unleashed from the publishing world’s belief that crinoline and lace are the foundations of a fine romance. This is a gripping and highly readable novel full of wit, fun and escapist pleasures, but with disturbing happenings which raise serious issues of love, estrangement and loss.
Now well passed middle age, Penelope Boydell has released her first novel following a varied work life embracing the engineering industry, supporting older people, town planning and local government politics. She and her husband Bill live on the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, and have travelled to many places which feature in the book. Boydell has three daughters and enjoys hiking, gardening and, of course, writing.
