The year of her fiftieth birthday, gardening writer Mary Moody ran away from home, family and work for six months to live in a remote French village.
Her book about these experiences, 'Au Revoir', struck a chord with tens of thousands of readers across Australia. Yet those experiences were to mark a beginning rather than an end. They were six months that turned the rest of her life upside down, as she bought a house in the village, persuaded her husband to sell the family home of twenty-five years and take up goose farming in central NSW and abandoned her television career in favour of writing about her travelling experiences.
Amid these dramatic mid-life changes Mary found herself grappling with some intense emotional situations including the rediscovery of a sister not seen by the family for nearly fifty years and a romantic entanglement which almost ended her marriage. 'Last Tango In Toulouse' is Mary's compelling account of these changes in her life.
Written with humour, warmth and passion, and an often searing honesty, 'Last Tango In Toulouse' shows that life really can begin again at 50.
