Bookreviews: Life beyond the castanets

My love affair With Spain 

A memoir as a memoir should be! 

Summary

With their life in Spain established, Jean and Adrian look forward to an idyllic
retirement. But when Mother Nature throws up formidable fires, floods and flu,
their dreams, along with much of their house are shattered. 

Life Beyond the Castanets is the second instalment of Jean Roberts's lighthearted
and uplifting tale in her Moving to Spain series. 

My review

Spain and Portugal are absolutely without any doubt my favourite countries, so 
a memoir about Spain always is a special treat for me.

As soon as I started reading this book, I wanted to continue. I was curious to read
all the author's adventures while living abroad. 

I really enjoyed the book, as the author tells a very personally story. She also made
excellent descriptions of events, places and people. 

I certainly would recommend "Life beyond the castanets" to everyone who is
interested in traveling or moving to Spain. 

With lots of pleasure I want to give a 5 star rating to "Life beyond the castanets". 

The Author

Jean Roberts is a reitred social worker and a cautiously negative optimist. She is 
married with two grown-up children and a small tribe of grandchildren. She spends
her time between her home in Essex and her happy place in Spain.

Bookreview: The Ultimate Love

What an emotional book

Summary

A remarkable and inspiring journey of a grieving mother. "The ultimate Love"
will make you shed a few tears. But it'll also remind you to value every second
you have with your loved ones and treasure the memories of those who passed
away. 

My review

I read Nadeem's Journey a while ago and I wanted to know how Nadeem's mother
handled her grief. 

Again it was a very emotional book, well written and structured. You feel
what the author experienced. 

I would like to recommend this book to people who love to read honest, emotional
memoirs. Without any doubt, I give this a 5 star rating!
