Acknowledgments About the Author Copyright Page Acclaim for Chris Stewart’s DRIVING OVER LEMONS “An engaging book and Stewart is a welcoming host.” —The Oregonian “Thanks to Stewart . . . we can experience [Andalucía] vicariously in what one hopes will be a long and oft-sequeled story of life in the slow, sensual corner of that most sensual land.” —Winston-Salem Journal “In chronicling the mood swings of a life less ordinary, Stewart has produced a delicious slice of rural life. . . . A marvelous read throughout.” —The Irish Times “Driving Over Lemons . . . recounts with verve and vivid imagery . . . life on a primitive mountain farm in Spain.” —The Commercial Appeal (Memphis) “A wonderful book: funny, affectionate, no hint of patronage, a true portrait of a place and people, reaching deep into the flesh and bones beneath the skin. Tuck it into your holiday luggage and dream.” — Daily Mail “When an author is as modest and humorous as this, it is a story that cannot be told too often . . . a quiet, sincere narration of putting his money where his mouth is.” —The Times (London) “Exquisite. . . . Driving Over Lemons is so darn good that he is already being talked of within the publishing industry as the new Peter Mayle.” —The Daily Telegraph (London) “Charming and witty. . . . The anecdotes of life on the farm are engaging and funny and . . . crackle with wit reminiscent of Bill Bryson.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
