Présentation de l'éditeur
After a long career as a globe-trotting journalist, and stints living in the United States, Canada, Ireland and Gibraltar, writer Derek Lambert decides to settle with his wife and young son among the citrus groves of the Spanish countryside. A mouldering white casita near a quant village on 'Spain's Meditteranean Costa Blance becomes his new home. As he sets about restoring his house and learning to live the life of a Spanish villager, Lambert introduces us to a Spain far removed from the matadors, tapas bars and sangria swillers. He uncovers the real Spain- a nation of passionate eccentric, often contradicotry but always enchanting people. With warmth and affection lambert describes how he adapts to the personalities of his neighbours, survives Spain's first snowstorm in ages, battles a lemon-grove fire, clashes wills with a subborn-as-a-mule gardener, and bumbles through Spanish lessons with a mocking classmate who challanges him to a public arm-wresting contest. Unpredictable, often hilarious and animated by colourful characters, SPANISH LESSONS presents a delightful portrait of off-the-tourist-track Spain.
Revue de presse
"An entertaining read in the vein of Mayle or Bryson... truly gripping" (The Times)
"A great insight into his first year on the Costa Blanca and the traumas that crop up" (The Mirror)
"The comic, anecdotal style of Peter Mayle with the shrewd observation of Bill Bryson...just the thing to take on holiday" (The Lady)
"Delightful" (Mail on Sunday)
"At last a cracking good book by a foreigner who went native in Spain! There are a million homes owned by foreigners in Spain and Spanish Lessons should be in every one" (Lookout)
