Publisher Description
Sometimes travelling alone can be murder...
Emily Barr transports readers to a sinister, dangerous South East Asia in Backpack. Escaping the downward spiral of her London life, Tansy gets more adventure than she bargained for. The perfect read for fans of Lisa Jewell and Adele Parks.
'Barr's debut comes as a blast of fresh air' - Sunday Express
Tansy has to escape from her London life. She's desperate to get away from her media job, her coke habit, her dead mother and her selfish boyfriend. But she finds travelling through Asia more smelly than romantic and, besides, she's missing her boyfriend. However she is determined not to give in, give up or go home.
As she travels further east she begins to enjoy her journey - until murder starts to follow her and the trip becomes much more adventurous than she had anticipated.

Backpack
Got totally lost in this book. It's great. Good story. Funny and scenic. Can't believe I haven't read any Emily Barr before. One of my favourites now.

For everyone who's on the road and wants to be entertained this book will do. I saw it in 2001 when I was traveling in Malaysia and a year later I read it the first time and after that many times and it ended even in my Top 10 of books I love to read over and over again. Love the story and love the scenery.
