After the Fire

by Frank Kusy

Following a freak house fire, retired travel writer Frank is forced to travel once more - to darkest Sunbury.

‘Your husband is in hospital, and the house is on fire.’ Madge listens to this phone message from Kingston police in disbelief. What has Frank done now? Has he been burning crumpets again? And what can she do about it? She is three hours out from Kingston and heading to the Chilterns! Frank and Madge are about to face the most challenging year of their lives. Rendered nearly homeless, cut off from the internet, it’s a rollercoaster ride of daily dramas and madcap meetings they never dreamt could come their way. And in the background bubbles the all-important question: will their insurance claim be approved or will they be forced to live as down-and-outs?

Reviews

"It's another winner from Frank."

"One of Frank Kusy's best."

About the author

Frank Kusy

Frank Kusy is a professional travel writer with over thirty years experience in the field. He has written guides to India, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Of his first work, the travelogue Kevin and I in India (1986), the Sunday Tribune wrote: 'Relentlessly honest, refreshingly uncontrived, this diary really works!' Born in England (of Polish-Hungarian parents), Frank left Cardiff University for a career in journalism and worked for a while at the Financial Times. India is his first love, the only country he knows which improves on repeated viewings. He still visits for business and for pleasure at least once a year. He lives in Surrey, England, with his wacky but wonderful wife.
