I was a bit underwhelmed by this book. Three short stories, taken from the authors book[b:Pack of Cards 202879 Pack of Cards Penelope Lively https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348484851s/202879.jpg 3116563], as a Penguin 60.The first (title) story was very amusing - anyone who has ever travelled in a group situation, with people chosen only due the fact they want to do the same ‘trip', will find the story replicates common situations. A travel guide who reaches the end of her tether and simply leaves - a group of people used to be led and having their cares attended to. The other two stories, just fell outside of my interest. The writing style was ok, but it didn't hold me to a story I found no amusement with.Ends up at a high 2 stars for me.
