Wall Street Journal Top 10 & New York Times bestselling author
A true story of expat life in the Middle East.
Reluctantly leaving their quiet Spanish mountain village, Vicky and Joe head to Bahrain for a year teaching abroad. It should be a simple adventure. Instead, they arrive as civil war erupts.
Suddenly, their year of expat life in Bahrain turns into an extraordinary journey through political unrest, cultural surprises and events making world headlines. Between lively Arab students, eccentric teachers, unexpected friendships and a spell under house arrest, nothing goes according to plan.
Perfect for anyone considering moving to the Middle East or teaching abroad.
Includes Middle Eastern recipes donated by Nadia Sawalha. This is the third book in the hilarious Old Fools travel memoir series.
Victoria Twead is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling author whose books span memoir, cosy mystery, psychological crime and children's fiction. Her much-loved Old Fools memoir series was inspired by her years living in a remote Spanish mountain village, where she and her husband became accidental chicken farmers. She is also the creator of the charming Sixpenny Cross cosy mysteries, the darker, twist-filled Dead of Night crime series, and the delightful illustrated Mrs Arden children's books. Victoria and Joe finally retired to Australia to watch their new grandchildren thrive amongst kangaroos and koalas. More joyous life-chapters are unwinding.
