Diary of an Immigrant, a celebration of second chances, brave choices, and the beauty of not having it all figured out. No derring-do, mountain scaling, or ocean sailing, just two ordinary British folks ready to give life in another country a whirl.
A beautifully crafted narrative told through a series of delightful anecdotes and short stories, much of it drawn from the author's own journal entries.
Older than most, wiser than some, and determined to outwit life's wilder turns, the author and his wife hatch a bold new plan. Abandoning the conventional retirement script, they leap into an uncharted life in France - or Brittany as the Bretagne's prefer - with optimism, enthusiasm, and only the vaguest of ideas. What follows isn't a tale of slippers and garden gnomes, but a witty, warm-hearted romp through cultural confusions, unlikely joys, and the fine art of starting over. A spirited celebration of second acts and the courage to simply say, ""Why not?""
Join our plucky adventurers as they leave their homeland to face bewilderment on an entirely unexpected scale.
