SHORT STORIES SPECIAL
ESCAPE ROUTE
JANE FALLON
Introducing our holiday reading special, the best-selling author tells us why reading is such a magical pastime, how she indulges her habit while on holiday and which books always take her to a happy place
Jane Fallon will readily admit she is the “worst person in the world” to go on holiday with. The best-selling author isn’t a fan of the beach or the pool and can’t sit still for long. City breaks are more her thing.
But one thing she does have in common with most holidaymakers is the desire to devour a good book or two while getting away from it all.
“For me, reading takes you out of your real life and transports you to something else,” she tells hello!. “I find it so relaxing and such a great way of calming my brain down. I think it’s one of the most mindful things you can do – it’s pure escapism.”
