★★★★★
With plenty of interesting (and sometimes humorous!) ups and downs, this journey through the holiday, for Britain and Britons, is well written and paced to steadily reveal its observations, insights and history.
It calls in at many a key place (and time) across the country (and further afield) as well as hearing from many ‘insiders’ which all combine to help explain and give context to the much loved and wanted ‘great escape’ by all sorts of holidaymakers.
