An Older Person's Guide to Travelling Lightly: Strange Happenings in a Sabah Rainforest

A child missing is said to be a parent’s worst nightmare; however, what if a parent, or grandparent, has disappeared without trace in the jungle in a foreign country?

Robert’s mother is on holiday in Sabah, Malaysia, when the Tour bus she is in is hijacked and all on board are taken hostage – all except his mother – so where is she now?

While Robert and his sister, Kate, are desperate for news of her whereabouts, their mother has escaped in the bus and followed the hijackers to a lodge deep in the rainforest, where she meets an elderly professor and his wife, the unfriendly Alicia, a mysterious group of young men employed by the lodge and a number of other fascinating rainforest inhabitants.

This novel is a humorous account of the travels of an elderly woman in a little known but scenic part of the world, and shows how, more by accident than by design, her actions lead to unexpected outcomes for all concerned.
