  • Fiction
A light-hearted tale that follows the lives and loves of two middle-aged sisters, as they muddle their way through a coach holiday to France.  Gilly is expecting a relaxing week exploring the chateaux and gardens of the Loire valley.  Angie is trying to recover from the humiliation of her husband’s affair.
Add in numerous pensioners, loads of wine, a few cultural facts, and a ‘wannabe’ drug smuggler, and you have the ingredients for a fun-filled story of misunderstandings, intrigue, and romance.
The difficulties of human relationships are explored in a way that gives hope, not just for Gilly and Angie, but for everyone involved on the coach trip.
Morag has written short stories for many women’s magazines, including Woman’s Weekly, and has won or been runner up in several writing competitions over the years, winning the BBC Look East online story competition and the 2018 Felixstowe Book Festival short story competition. In the BBC3 End of Story competition she reached the final 20 in over 10,000 entries.  The Coach Trip is her fourth published novel.  Morag works at Felixstowe Library and spends much of her free time working on book three of her Hollyfield Stables romance series.
