A House Somewhere: Tales of Life Abroad (Lonely Planet Journeys)by Don George
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:We've all dreamt of escaping to a House Somewhere. In this collection some of the finest names in contemporary travel writing reveal the perils and pleasures of exchanging the familiar for the foreign. Isabel Allende discovers love and paradise in California, Pico Iyer finds home in Japan amidst the alien and indecipherable, and a dank barge on the Seine opens up a new side of Paris for Mort Rosenblum. Revealing the flip side to the dream, relocating to the juicy heart of New York proves fiery for Lily Brett, Chris Stewart is frightened for his life in Andalucia, and the plumbing in William Dalrymple's rooftop Delhi flat is held to ransom by his water-conserving landlady. Review:'insightful and highly entertaining'a facsinating anthology representing some of our best writers.' — Library Journal, December 2002 Synopsis:Whether you yearn to run away and join a Mexican circus or simply settle in a quiet rural village somewhere in a Mediterranean land, the dream of a pied a terre in an exotic locale is almost universal. These true tales — including original pieces by some of the world's best travel writers — cast that dream in a whole new light. Delightfully funny or achingly poignant, the experiences recounted in A House Somewhere demonstrate the perils and the pleasures of forsaking the everyday grind for the unknown. Table of Contents
