An awful long time in Provence…Driving over cucumbers… Mañana never comes… there are scores of books about finding the good life in France and Spain. Some are even worth reading.
Now comes one which is very different from the usual “I ran away to Spain” tome. This one really tells it how it is. This one gets under the skin of a rural community.
Sunny Side Up – the 21st century hits a Spanish village offers pungent, witty, entertaining insights into a pueblo under siege from the tourist flood and modern madness.
Sunny Side Up is written by a pro — a foreign correspondent with experience on such publications as The Times, Daily Express, South China Morning Post.
Sunny Side Up is written by someone who actually knows his subject – having lived in and reported on Spain for too long to tell. His name is David Baird, whose latest book — Between Two Fires — is a hot seller in English and Spanish.
Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times book reviewer, comments: “Baird’s ironic glance back over the past 30 years is recommended reading for anyone who has ever wondered what happened to ‘the real Spain’.”
Sunny Side Up is published by Santana Books (see the link on this site) and is on sale through English bookshops in Spain and the UK.
