I love the idea of the book, the wine and nice grassy patch upon which to read. You placed everything so nicely that it doesn't look too "done", it feels organic. Nice shot and creates a nice mood.
Love this book! My niece gave it to me and then it somehow disappeared after I read it. It just reappeared last week, and I want to read it again ... but lack of time keeps conspiring against that happening.
The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this:
A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I recently read this book and I really loved it. It's filled with great insights and at the same time it's really funny.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about it on my blog!
I'll take your recommendation!
ReplyDeletedid you just check my blog or is this coincidence?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that yet, but lovely idea: some wine, a book, a grassy place to read.
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to read this book but have never gotten around to it! You've urged me to put it back towards the top of my list!

ReplyDeleteI'm in the minority. Hated the book. Maybe it was because I was jealous of her year but mainly I couldn't stand her.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll take the wine!
