Perfect Book for the Armchair Traveler
No doubt most people have fantasized-if only once in their life and very briefly, but especially on one of those long winter days when the sky is as white as milk, it won't stop snowing, and the only sound outside is the rattle of bare tree branches - about throwing all caution to the wind, packing up, and moving to a remote island with beautiful beaches, verdant mountains, loads of fruit trees, and a friendly, local population.
Usually the daydream ends there. It is, after all, a fantasy - one that does not include considering practical matters: how to make a living, for example, or what to do with oneself after the novelty of a new place and a new culture wears off.
GOOD MORNING CORFU: LIVING ABROAD AGAINST ALL ODDS explores the realities about what it actually means to live abroad in a foreign land in a foreign culture. Often funny, always thoughtful, and surprisingly esoteric in nature, the fifty or so essays deal with expatriate living in detail - from myth to reality, from novelty to stagnation, from glorious experiences to down-right gory experiences, and back again.
A perfect read for the armchair traveler or occasional 'I want to live in a foreign land' dreamer. Curl up with it on a long winter's day, dream away, then get back to reality.
