THREE MORE FUN STORIES FROM SPAIN is a second anthology of three entertaining, informative tales about the lives of diverse British people in Spain. All three titles are also available separately.
THE HERMIT AND THE HITCHHIKER: A Spanish Encounter – J.T. Scholes
This is the tale of two men whose fortuitous meeting in the hills of South-East Spain leads to an unlikely friendship which changes their lives forever. After overcoming the initial reticence caused by their disparate ages and backgrounds, their improbable alliance leads both men to learn from each other and reassess their respective goals, not least when Roy’s old flame, Alicia, returns to the area with her daughter Sara. Touching, humorous and informative, the story of Roy and Ryan’s relationship with each other and their female friends is an enthralling read.
JACOB’S STORY: The Ups and Downs of an English Teenager in Spain – Jacob Torney
Jacob, uprooted from his Cumbrian home at the tender age of fifteen-and-a-half, had to get to grips with a new language and culture whether he liked it or not. Thrust into small-town Spanish life just when he should have been studying for his GCSEs, his candid account tells not only of his own ups and downs, but also those of his Guinness-guzzling, tax-evading father, his long-suffering mother, and his happy-go-lucky younger sister, Katie. After steering a shaky course between the pitfalls of adolescence and the huge demands of school life, Jacob holds nothing, or very little, back as he recounts the varied adventures of his first year on Spanish soil with the relative wisdom of his twenty years. A must-read book for teenage expats in Spain, and their parents too.
THE BREXIT BRIGANDS: Spain, 2022 – Adrian Chisholm
When Adrian and Celia Chisholm learn that their Marbella home is to be seized by the authorities of the fledgling state of Nueva Andalucia, all thanks to Britain’s much delayed exit from the crumbling European Union, they visit their resourceful neighbour Eric to see what he plans to do. On learning that Britons are being imprisoned in droves, they recruit Eric’s young friend Hayley and the four of them head for the hills… This story is set, as the title suggests, in the near future.
