Description:... Grief, loneliness, Brexit, motherhood, identity, belonging, single parenthood, rootlessness, drinking culture and integration are just some of the issues tackled in a series of powerful stories written by ten women on the challenges of expat life. In one of the first books of its kind, these women reveal some of the emotional upheavals and struggles that go hand-in-hand with moving away from their native 'home', which have, until now, remained largely untold.Chapters1.Calling 'Time' on Drinking CultureAdrienne Walder, Mid Levels (Hong Kong) ... 2.Exercise Caution in Your Business AffairsDeborah Gray, Barcelona (Spain) ... 3.Married Plus Four, a Trail Between Four CountriesAvivit Delgoshen, London (UK) ... 4.Bremain in Spain: a Brexit LegacySue Wilson, Valencia (Spain) ... 5.Poms in Thongs: an Aussie Culture ShockAnnabel Cotton, Sydney (Australia) ... 6.Restlessness, Rootlessness & ResilienceMorag Makey, Matapouri (New Zealand) ... 7.Two-dimensional Dreams Versus 3D reality:Friendships & Loneliness in Rural ItalyElizabeth Heath, Umbria (Italy) ... 8.Grief, Emotional Baggage & Belonging(s)Carrie Frais, Barcelona (Spain) ... 9.From China to the Southern French Alps:a Single Mom's Adoption StoryPippa Curtis, Briançon (France) ... 10.Identity: Becoming Me (Again)Jane Mitchell, Barcelona (Spain) ...
