The year of her fiftieth birthday, Mary Moody ran away from home, family and work for six months to live in a remote French village. Her book about these experiences were, '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 travel experience.

Note from reader: I found this story shameful and hope this story does not encourage others to follow unfaithfulness to family. I did not finish the book nor read more than one chapter and the book-jacket.. Gypsy
