In the middle of dreary, drawn-out English winter, Mark Harrison and his wife Vivien suddenly took stock of their lives and decided it was time for a change.
Ten months later, and now jobless, they moved into their new home on the outskirts of the village Parcent, in the Jalon valley, inland from Spain’s Costa Blanca.
I Want To Live In Spain is the story of how they got there and how they fared in their new surroundings.
The joys they found and the disasters that befell them are recounted with brutal honesty, interspersed with light-hearted anecdotes about the people they met and the problems they encountered.
I Want To Live In Spain will make you laugh at their innocence and cry at their misfortunes. Above all it will give you an insight into what it’s really like to undergo a lifestyle transplant.
Anyone who has ever dreamed of moving out of the fast lane to find a place in the sun should read this book.
