This is not a watercolour! It’s my photograph of the actual view from a beach in Ikaria.

Today, the Long Fall Blog Tour van stops off at The Book Trail, with a great article about the travelling aspect in the book and a giveaway.

Born out of a love of books and travel, The Book Trail is a blog after my own heart. Subtitled discovering the world, one book at a time, it features reviews and articles on books that involve journeys or have a strong sense of place. As part of the review, the bloggers undertake the journeys in the novel concerned.

The Long Fall, with its story of a 1980 backpacking journey around Europe, was an obvious contender, and the article includes really interesting insights into the places Emma visits.
