Mary Moody with Kim McKimmie

Mary Moody is an absolutely amazing woman and a terrific writer. Miss Kim has read all of her memoirs and says, “They all read like the best page-turning novel ever. She has created such an interesting life and shares it with her readers in a most engaging style.”

Mary Moody is Australian author who trained as a journalist and became a long time television presenter on the Gardening Australia show. She has written more than forty gardening books and five memoirs. Moody also leads cultural, botanical and gourmet walking tours in the Himalayas, Mongolia, Morocco and France.

(Side note: Kim McKimmie leads Tours too. The 2020 ILD Tour to Bavaria, including the Passion Play of Oberammergau, still has a few spots available. All details on the ILD website under “Tours.”)

Moody has a house in France located in the town of Frayssinet-le-Gelat. It was her experiences there that prompted her to write her first memoir Au Revoir (2001). Moody has written four further memoirs; Last Tango in Toulouse (2003), The Long Hot Summer (2005), Sweet Surrender (2010) and The Accidental Tour Guide (2019) which discuss her life, family and travels. Her book, Lunch with Madame Murat (2005) was turned into a documentary film by the same name for SBS television.

Kim McKimmie not only had the real pleasure to meet Mary Moody, but did read her latest book - hot off the press - and thought it was wonderful and inspiring! From The Accidental Tour Guide book jacket: “A powerful, moving and inspiring true story about how to rebuild your life without the people who matter most.”
