Narrative Supposing Books Surfing in Stilettos
Amanda Wilson is all geared up for an exciting gap-year, travelling across Europe. She soon finds her plans thwarted when she is abandoned in France with only a cellarful of Chateau Plonk, a large, orange Space Hopper, and Old Ted, the dog, for company. Fate has intervened to turn Amanda's life on its head. First the campervan breaks down. Then her dopey son, Tom, who is staying in their house in the UK, begins wrecking it, one piece at a time. The jaw-dropping video Skype calls that her irrepressible mother insists on making are, by contrast, making Amanda's humdrum trip even less palatable. Finally, she discovers that her new-found, French friend, Bibi Chevalier, had engineered a plan to ensure that her philandering husband would never stray again; unfortunately, Amanda is unwittingly drawn into the scheme, becoming a target. Meanwhile, on a beach in Sydney, a lonely Todd Bradshaw realises that his first true love, Amanda Wilson, is definitely the only woman for him. Can he get back into her good books and hopefully back into her arms with his latest plan? Or will fate intervene yet again and turn everyone's lives upside down?Specify Of Books Surfing in Stilettos

I absolutely loved this book. It was a "can't put it down" and so fun. I cannot wait for the next one to be released. Carol's such an awesome writer!! Great job Carol! Keep 'em coming.I took Surfing in Stilettos away with me on holiday. I like to try different genres and as everyone seemed to love it, thought it would make a good holiday read. I was not disappointed and quickly became embroiled in the ups and downs of Amanda's life. She had a lot to contend with - a somewhat reluctant husband accompanying her across Europe in a not-fit-for purpose mobile home plus a disaster-prone son left back in the UK to house sit. Poor Amanda lurched from one situation to another and once
The title of Carol E. Wyers book "Surfing In Stilettos" brought strange visions into my head. Once I started reading, I realized that it was internet surfing. I admit it was a letdown at first because I was looking forward to seeing how she could pull off some of those strange visions Id had! It was only a short-term depression, however, because Wyers writing style and her stimulating characters took me on a thoroughly enjoyable ride!Amanda Wilson, Wyers down-to-earth main character, drew me in
Some great laugh out loud moments in this novel. Loved it... but I believe I've read this one before I should have. Amanda Wilson is first introduced to the world in Miniskirts and Laughter Lines. Carol's quick wit and zany sense of humour come through and are intermingled with more serious plot lines. And, I'll never look at a potted chrysanthemum the same way again...
We begin our journey with a blog post. Amanda has blogged on Fortifying Your Fifties about the impending gap year. Some of the comments make me chuckle.Chapter One sees Todd Bradshaw experiencing a night of passion with Amanda. Waking exhausted he finds it was only a dream! Todd is a man who has missed the opportunities in the past but Amanda is still haunting him.On the road, we learn from Phil about the night before. Amanda and her mother Grace (having recently got in touch) were up all night
When I first started this book I admit that I was worried about not being able to relate to the main character who was in her fifties, because I hadnt got there myself yet. Well Im pleased to say that it wasnt an issue at all I grew very fond of Amanda and thanks to the clear writing style I was easily able to understand where she was coming from.It did take me a little while to fully engage with the storyline but once I did I was hooked, from then on I found it easy to sail through the pages
This is the story of Amanda. She has decided to take a 'gap' year off and travel around Europe with her husband Phil in their camper van, that she has affectionately named Bernie. Along the way Bernie breaks down and they find themselves taking an extended stay in France. There Amanda befriends a chic frenchwoman Bibi, takes on a stepdog and works on her blog. When a family disaster forces Phil to return to the UK, she puts all her energy into her new lifestyle and her blog. Will she stay in
