Life on a Postcard by Rukshana Chenoy-Horwood is a humorous and heart-warming book that blends real-life adventures with fiction. Told through the perspective of Charlotte Baxter, the protagonist, the book introduces readers to a range of quirky, larger-than-life characters and amusing scenarios. From CPR on a turbulent flight to saggy boobs, the hilarious and often unbelievable anecdotes make the book an engaging, must-read journey. Chenoy-Horwood masterfully balances humour with moments of tenderness and tragedy, often evoking both laughter and tears in a single story.

Rukshana Chenoy-Horwood draws from her personal experiences for the book. Born in England and raised in Hyderabad, India, she returned to the UK after completing her education. With a passion for travel, she joined an airline and spent 25 years in the corporate world, working in various roles from recruitment to leadership coaching. Alongside her corporate career, her love for writing grew, contributing to internal magazines and writing for local newspapers.

Now a People Management Consultant and Leadership Coach, Chenoy-Horwood has combined her passions for travel and writing in her debut novel. Despite her extensive life experiences—including delivering a baby at 35,000 feet and coaching CEOs—she admits that none of these compares to the challenge of raising her teenage daughter. Balancing fiction and autobiography, Life on a Postcard offers a glimpse into her adventurous life, with a touch of creative exaggeration.
