De: A R Lowe

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

From the author of 'Barry Braithwaite's Last Life', 'Upcote and Smythe', 'Caveman' and more, a hilarious blow-by-blow account of the life of an expatriate Englishman. Ernest Postlethwaite was a man embarking on a new life. No longer for him the routine and drudgery of the commuter. The first part of Ernest Postlethwaite's groundbreaking journal charters the course of a man on a mission to achieve cultural and linguistic integration in a small village in southern Spain. This unadulterated manuscript will bring tears to the eyes of the most hard-hearted among us, as we follow his footsteps into the great unknown. 'This diary, written by my late husband, Ernest Postlethwaite, has been published expressly against his wishes, but with the full and hearty endorsement of my family and friends.' - From the introduction by Pamela Postlethwaite, *** 'Part Two - Invasion', 'Part Three - Consolidation' and 'Part Four - Conclusion' are also available. ***

Clever, witty and absolutely delightful

As a fashion designer, I’m used to getting completely absorbed in my work, but this audiobook had me equally hooked. I listened to the entire thing in one day, headphones on, as if I were living and breathing Spain right alongside the author.

The writing is disarmingly personal, but with a hilarious twist. I found myself chuckling out loud constantly. Even though I live in America, my family is from Spain, and I related to so many moments in the most unexpectedly heartfelt way.

The characters, the observations, the humor, absolutely brilliant writing and articulation. Entertaining, insightful, and beautifully human. Highly recommend.
