Miles Away is a lighthearted account of the author's various travels around the world, spanning thirty-six years and six continents, from London in the '80s to present-day Indonesia. Told with generous amounts of humor, each of the book's twelve chapters takes the reader to a different destination and a different time, with just enough tidbits of information to provide context and background. What do a mad Australian, an ill-fated cruise ship, a World War Two pen pal, and a taxi ride to nowhere have in common? They're all here
