Would you risk everything to start a new life overseas?
“If you buy one book this year… get this!”
“Brilliant book about living in Europe… very funny…”
“Probably the best book I have read this millenium!”
Childhood sweethearts, Joe and Joy are broke and bored. They’re also tired of smelling of fish.
When offered the chance to escape from the dreary market stalls of Bolton, England and buy a bar on Spain’s sub-tropical resort island of Tenerife, they recklessly jump at the opportunity, despite a spectacular lack of experience.
In Tenerife, dreams of a better life overseas are soon crushed by mini-mafias, West European prostitutes and biblical-grade cockroach infestations.
Their foreign fantasy turns into a nightmare as they find themselves trapped with a failing bar in a foreign land, pandering to a bar full of expat society misfits 24/7, while trying to stop their relationship crashing into the rocks.
Can they turn their business around, and save their relationship? Buy this comedy memoir now to find out!
“A book full of humor, laughter and tears.”
“Fantastic, hilarious, painful. Completely un-put-downable!”
“If you enjoy true stories and Bill Bryson type travel memoirs then you’ll also enjoy Joe Cawley’s books.”
“Witty and entertaining. Buy this book, it really is worth it.”
A must-read travelogue if you’ve ever thought about starting again and moving overseas.
