Book description
Writer, adventurer, ex-teacher and veteran of umpteen travel disasters,
Will Randall has fallen off donkeys in Spain and out of canoes in the
Solomon Islands, but none of this has prepared him for a disastrous
season as a ski-bum with a posse of raucous, hard-drinking ex-students.
Dismally unfashionable and hopeless at skiing, Randal finds that his
stay in the charming Alpine backwater of mont St Bernard brings a whole
host of new opportunities for domestic catastrophe, romantic rejection
and public humiliation, including a stint as a chalet girl and an
encounter with a Russian oligarch and his hair-raising entourage. Wry,
self-deprecating and deliriously funny, ANOTHER LONG DAY ON THE PISTE is
a rollercoaster of a travel adventure and essential apres-ski reading.
Will Randall has taught in schools in Devon and London and is the author
of SOLOMON TIME, INDIAN SUMMER and BOTSWANA TIME. He is currently in the
US writing his next book.
