Review
It is everything that made the first book so hugely successful - endearing, heartwarming, self-deprecating, sometimes surreal. (William Leith Evening Standard)
He's pulled it off: this is as funny and charming as the first book. (Alasdair Palmer Sunday Telegraph)
A GIANT FOR 2002. The chapters I saw were wonderful. (Sarah Broadhurst The Bookseller)
Chris Stewart's story cannot be told too often. (The Times)
An unexpected gem of a book, written with a mix of insight and self-deprecation that echoes Bill Bryson at his funniest. (Dundee Evening Telegraph & Post)
Stewart never patronises, he just observes . . . funny, generous and warm . (Sue Arnold Guardian)
A brilliant follow-up. (The Bookseller)
Easily the best and funniest of all those otherwise wearisome expatriate diaries. (Independent on Sunday)
All quite delightful and slips down as easily as a small bottle of Spanish Beer. (Giles Foden Conde Naste Traveller)
About the Author
Chris Stewart prepared for life on a mountain farm in Spain with jobs of doubtful relevance. After leaving Genesis (he drummed on the first album), he joined a circus, learnt how to shear sheep, crewed a yacht in Greece, went to China for the Rough Guides, gained a pilot s license in Los Angeles, and completed a course in French cking. Despite the extraordinary success of his first two books, Chris, Ana and their daughter Chlöe continue to live on their farm, with their numerous dogs, cats, chickens, sheep and one misanthropic parrot.
