Driving Over Lemons Trilogy
review 1: Chris Stewart's Driving over Lemons - a deserved best seller - engaged the reader with what it meant to be an English couple uprooting to establish a new home in the high Spanish mountains. The feeling of place, people and culture was strong.This follow-up a big disappointment. It is a series of episodes, many of them insubstantial, that barely connect with the soil. One, which describes Stewart's first job as a builder's labourer in Wiltshire, is hardly relevant at all. A riff on the subject of eggs and chickens reads like another filler. There are attempts at humour which read as merely whimsical.It will probably help pay for Chloe's education but it does not leave the reader impatient for the next volume.
review 2: Descubrí este libro por casualid
... moread, intentando reponer mis reservas vacacionales en un Eroski. Y me atrajeron la portada y el título (lo confieso), lo suficiente para mirar la contraportada. Al ver que era un libro autobiográfico sobre una pareja de ingleses que lo deja todo y monta una granja en la Alpujarra, me lo llevé sin dudarlo. El autor escribe muy bien, es una delicia leer sus descripciones. Todo el libro transpira bonhomía y ganas de vivir, además de una más que saludable dosis de inteligencia e ironía amable. Un placer de lectura. Descubro además que éste es, en palabras de su autor, el cuarto libro de la trilogía de "Driving over lemons", por lo que ya tengo tres más en la lista de pendientes. less
