Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Mayle's original memoir, A Year in the Provence, created a whole generation of non-fiction tales about English couples heading off to the Mediterranean to renew their zest for life. Marsh's absurd literary comedy turns that tradition on its head, by presenting readers with the ridiculous yet heroic figure of Jesus Sanchez Ventura, the Andalusian peasant whose wife Begona tires of the heat, the lemons and the tranquility of Spain, and who persuades the family to relocate to Belfast.
