Every two weeks we read a book written by a woman from a different country (to go along with the bi-weekly country bulletins). We are working through the countries in alphabetical order!
“Entertaining stories about one of the world’s more enigmatic countries. Journey with us through fact and fiction, memoire and imagination, behind the scenes and into the heart of this unique, pocket-sized country.
The book is crammed with facts, past and present and interwoven with bedtime stories that reveal even more of this rare Co-Princedom: tales of smugglers and pigs, murder and even witches on broomsticks.
Serving as an entertaining companion for would-be visitors and a practical guide for those considering Andorra as a place to live, it shares with you the allure that has brought foreigners from all over the world to make this country their home. including the authors themselves: Clare Allcard arrived by sailboat - and car - from Singapore, Judith Wood, born in Bombay, was drawn from London, Iain Woolward from Silicon Valley, Alexandra Grebennikova from Russia, Valerie Rymarenko from Spain while Ursula Ure Simpson, born in Shanghai, arrived in Andorra by camper van.”
*Note: Andorra was a difficult country to find a book for so while this is a little different, I hope that it is very informative about the country!
We will use this discussion thread to chat about the book and the reading experience over the next couple of weeks! Enjoy!
