The Accidental Tour Guide

Adventures in Life and Death

The Year of Magical Thinking meets Salvation Creek in a powerful memoir of love, loss and discovery – the third act in an extraordinary life.

Mary Moody’s bestselling memoirs about her adventures in France, Au Revoir and Last Tango in Toulouse, inspired thousands of women. The Accidental Tour Guide completes the circle by sharing another major turning point in her life.

When Mary loses her beloved husband, her world is turned upside down. Part of her journey to reignite her passion for living is to boldly go where she has never been before – in her travels and in her everyday life.

A powerful, moving and inspiring true story about how to rebuild your life without the people who matter most.

A great read as always from Mary Moody

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of Mary Moody’s books. She writes with such honesty and candour about her family and her wonderful adventures while travelling to really interesting places. This book shares her fairly recent first hand experiences of dealing with sad but very real life issues in a very practical yet sensitive way and includes a good dose of humour in the telling of it. I think it’s a great read, especially for anyone who has suffered loss of a loved one and the various changes to our lives that this often brings. I highly recommend this book.
