For over thirty years Jonathan Raban has written about people & places in transition or on the margins, of journeys undertaken & destinations never quite reached; of isolation & alienation, but also of what it means to belong, to feel rooted. Driving Home, a collection of pieces spanning two decades, charts its course through American history & recent world events. Raban writes with an outsider`s eye for the public & the personal, about political, social, & cultural affairs, & about literature, his tone intimate but never nostalgic, & always fresh. Variously frank, witty, & provocative, Driving Home is part essay collection, part diary -- & wholly engrossing. `A passionate history buff & a skilled raconteur.. .it`s a fine ride` Sunday Times `A fabulous collection` Observer ...

Meet Chris Stewart, the eternal optimist. At age 17 Chris retired as the drummer of Genesis & launched a career as a sheep shearer & travel writer. He has no regrets about this. Had he become a big-time rock star he might never have moved with his wife Ana to a remote mountain farm in Andalucia. Nor forged the friendship of a lifetime with his resourceful peasant neighbour Domingo...not watched his baby daughter Chloe grow & thrive there...nor written this book. Fate does sometimes seem to know what it's up to. Driving Over Lemons is that rare thing: a funny, insightful book that charms you from the first page to the last...and one that makes running a peasant farm in Spain seem like a distinctly good move. Chris transports us to Las Alpujarras, an oddball region south of Granada, & into a series of misadventures with an engaging mix of peasant farmers & shepherds, New Age travellers & ex-pats. The hero of the piece, however, is the farm that he & Ana bought, El Valero
- a patch of mountain studded with olive, almond & lemon groves, sited on the wrong side of a river, with no access road, water supply or electricity. Could life offer much better than that?
