A vivid, funny, and very human account of the author’s travels with her family through war-torn Europe. Are We There Yet? is about sitting on the sofa at home and watching cruise missiles rain down on your father’s head—then eating your baked beans and doing your homework. It’s about being five years old and wondering why Daddy’s boots are covered in mud from a mass grave and who was in it. It’s the story of five kids growing up in the New Europe and trying to work out why in some countries the supermarket shelves are empty and in others they groan with hundreds of different kinds of toilet cleaners.

Rosie Whitehouse worked for the BBC World Service before spending five years as a housewife in the war-torn Balkans married to a correspondent of The Economist. Back in London, she continued developing her ironing skills as she built a new career as a freelance journalist. Rosie has written on parenting and family issues for a wide range of newspapers and magazines and is the author of Take the Kids: South of France (Cadogan Books, 2003). She lives in London with her husband the frontline reporter Tim Judah and their five children.
