What readers say about this series? Unexpectedly absorbing! A wonderful, humorous read Stressful, Clueless, but Entertaining Quite the Adventure! A Witty Journey of Transformation It's funny, cringe-worthy, and brave! "When I started this book, I thought it was going to be another good life tale, wrong! It is a "warts and all" telling of this couples start in a life that they were ill prepared for." "A most entertaining book. I enjoyed her earlier book The Crinkle Crankle Wall, but enjoyed A Hoopoe on the Nisper Tree one even more. She writes with a lively good humour whilst telling it 'how it is' - if you've ever thought of escaping to rural Spain and setting up an accommodation business be sure to read this book first. Am looking forward to her next book already." "This is an incredibly entertaining read and, if like me, you are a fan of Driving Over Lemons by Chris Stewart you will absolutely love this book." "I felt like I was visiting an old friend since I read and enjoyed the previous book. Charming, interesting, well written. I felt like I was there with her...." "For all you lovers of programmes like Grand Designs, A Place in the Sun, DIY SOS etc....this is for You!!" After renovating a dilapidated Andalusian cottage and transforming it into a guest house, Robert and Sabina face a new set of challenges. As they continue to uncover the pros and pitfalls of hospitality, they realize that they need to do more to establish roots in their new community before they feel truly at home. During this transition period, they travel between Andalusia and the Middle East, in an effort to decide whether the idea of living among the olive groves is sustainable or whether they need to reconsider their life path and return to their old lives in the Gulf. Not having steady jobs means that financial worries are always on the horizon. In this third instalment of the New Life in Andalusia series, we find Robert and Sabina at a crossroads. As they contemplate their future, they continue to discover this beautiful part of the world and deepen their friendships and relationships with their neighbours. A perfect read for the fans of Driving Over Lemons, Under the Tuscan Sun, A Year in Provence, and A Rosie Life in Italy
