A vivid, funny, and very human account of the author’s travels with her family through war-torn Europe. Are We There Yet? is about sitting on the sofa at home and watching cruise missiles rain down on your father’s head—then eating your baked beans and doing your homework. It’s about being five years old and wondering why Daddy’s boots are covered in mud from a mass grave and who was in it. It’s the story of five kids growing up in the New Europe and trying to work out why in some countries the supermarket shelves are empty and in others they groan with hundreds of different kinds of toilet cleaners.
Rosie Whitehouse worked for the BBC World Service before spending five years as a housewife in the war-torn Balkans married to a correspondent of The Economist. Back in London, she continued developing her ironing skills as she built a new career as a freelance journalist. Rosie has written on parenting and family issues for a wide range of newspapers and magazines and is the author of Take the Kids: South of France (Cadogan Books, 2003). She lives in London with her husband the frontline reporter Tim Judah and their five children.

Review\nSearching for the next Tuscany? Look no further than the neighbouring region of Liguria, which now has its first dedicated guidebook. (The Times)\nGives an insider's perspective on the area's lush mountain-backed beaches, where the wealthy Milanese come to play in the summer. (National Geographic Traveller)\nBradt's Liguria is the only in-depth guide to this much-loved mountainous and coastal region of northwest Italy. Visitors have long flocked to the azure waters east of Genoa, to glitzy Portofino, but the Bradt guide also takes you to the area west of Genoa and to the hinterland. Unlike other guides which feature the region as part of broader coverage, Bradt's Liguria includes a detailed description of the mountains and their hilltop villages and is designed to be of use whether you're visiting the popular resorts or heading off the beaten track for a taste of the real Italy. Walking and cycling routes for all abilities are suggested, as is the growth of the Slow Food movement in the region, and this new edition includes more details of the developing fashionable side of Genoa as well as dozens of new hotel and restaurant listings. There is also expanded coverage of Levanto, crafted to show you how to enjoy the best of the Cinque Terre without the crowds.

Liguria (Bradt Travel Guide)

One summer's night in 1946, over 1,000 European Jews waited silently on an Italian beach to board a secret ship. They had survived Auschwitz, hidden and fought in forests and endured death marches--now they were taking on the Royal Navy, running the British blockade of Palestine. From Eastern Europe to Israel via Germany and Italy, Rosie Whitehouse follows in the footsteps of those secret passengers, uncovering their extraordinary stories--some told for the first time. Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from, and how had they survived? Why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still feel unsafe in Europe? How do we--and don't we--remember the Holocaust today? This remarkable, important book digs deep and travels far in search of answers.
