About this product

Product Information

Driving Over Lemons is that rare thing: a funny, insightful book that charms you from the first page to the last. and one that makes running a peasant farm in Spain seem like a distinctly good move. Chris transports us to Las Alpujarras, an oddball region south of Granada, and into a series of misadventures with an engaging mix of peasant farmers and shepherds, New Age travellers and ex-pats. The hero of the piece, however, is the farm that he and Ana bought, El Valero - a patch of mountain studded with olive, almond and lemon groves, sited on the wrong side of a river, with no access road, water supply or electricity. Could life offer much better than that? 'An idyllic life in a remote, sunny part of Europe is a fantasy normally punctured by harsh realities, and abandoned. Chris is made of sterner stuff. Driving Over Lemons is a wonderful account of his Andalucian adventure.' Peter Gabriel, former Genesis bandmate

    Bought these on a whim and didn't realise the delivery date was when I was away. I contacted the seller and they said it'd arrive Monday. Today is Sunday and they've turned up already. These are pre loved books, not badly damaged ones. 500 characters isn't enough to express the quality to price ratio. Quite a few big authors too (Dan Brown, Jeffrey Archer, Wilbur Smith). Be careful opening the box as even though it is packaged well, there's nothing protecting the books. Will buy again.

    Good read and a recommendation for living in Spain.

    The name of the book I picked up while listening to the author's back story. Original drummer in Genesis etc. Thought the book might be a good read. Cannot put it down and have got well into the book. Well written and the story of living in Spain while overcoming all the accompanying problems and shortages including no electrical water or gas service is a delight.

  • Life in the Alpujarras

    A brilliant account of life in proper rural southern Spain. The author captures the ups and downs in moving and living and farming in Andalucia away from the costas.

  • First Class Moving-Abroad Debut Autobiography

    I first read this book when it was first published and it's an entertaining and engaging read. One of my recommended reads. I purchased the book again recently because it was missing from my bookshelf (and I retain a small trove of favourite books which I will lend out, then forget who had it). As you might imagine, I found the original copy before even the new one arrived! However, it is just as worth having two copies, knowing me!
