Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride while visiting France from the comfort of your armchair. Join single mum Emma and three-year-old Lola as they embark upon a remarkable road trip in honour of her father in a 1979 Peugeot 504 named Clancy. The richly detailed beauty of France unfolds during the journey, which begins as a fundraising challenge in aid of Multiple Sclerosis. It’s testament to the reliability of Clancy - a car with a colourful history of traversing hundreds of thousands of miles in extreme conditions. Blending a mother’s devotion to her loved ones and the thrill of the open road, Clancy Goes to France is an inspiring true story of how life’s experiences are best when shared. This travel memoir celebrates the lessons passed on from parent to child and illustrates how a love of travel binds the generations of a family. The story lends itself as a travel guide to France’s most alluring destinations and includes wonderful descriptions of the places they meandered through. ★★★★★ "I've only kept one other book on my kindle, one from Bill Bryson. I'll be keeping yours too." "Please keep writing, you have a rare gift in making people be at your side through all your adventures." "Emma's journey, with the love for her father and their car is so inspiring and heart-warming. I must meet Clancy!" - Janis Winehouse (mother of singer Amy Winehouse). "I loved reading this as I was on a motorcycle tour myself, some similar destinations and observations along the way. A lovely way to read about travel with a different perspective to the norm, made me smile a lot." "A wonderful story. I was sad to finish the book." "Please keep writing, you have a rare gift in making people be at your side through all your adventures." Emma's goal was to write about the experience so that her father could imagine himself there with her, and in this she succeeded. It's an inspirational story of a mother pushing through emotional challenges to achieve a dream. If you'd like to share in that dream, then the story is here for you to enjoy.

Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about our adventure in France. Writing the book was a labour of love, and one that I enjoyed immensely!  As a writer, my goal is to take people with me on my travels, and I hope that this book does exactly that. I'm currently planning a second trip with one of my father's journals, and it's likely to happen in 2022. In the mean time I continue to research and write on my website, the details of which are on my author central page.  Once again, thank you! Emma is an artist and author from Bath in the UK.  Her first book, Clancy Goes to France, is for those who enjoy travel, and also those who understand the fragility of life. The importance of family bonds is a strong theme in Emma's work, for which she makes no apology.  She has lived in several countries, but France is the place she loves to explore the most, and this book sends that message loud and clear!
