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. Since writing Driving Over Lemons, Chris, Ana and their daughter Chl e continue to live on their farm, with their numerous dogs, cats, chickens, sheep and one misanthropic parrot.
It is everything that made the first book so hugely successful -
endearing, heartwarming, self-deprecating, sometimes surreal.
*Evening Standard*
He's pulled it off: this is as funny and charming as the first
book.
*Sunday Telegraph*
A GIANT FOR 2002. The chapters I saw were wonderful.
*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 .
*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.
*Conde Naste Traveller*
