Veinte años después de instalarse en El Valero, un destartalado cortijo en la Alpujarra granadina, adonde llegó huyendo del mundanal ruido, Chris Stewart se enfrenta a un acontecimiento trascendental en su vida familiar: su hija Chloé se dispone a abandonar el nido para asistir a la universidad. Semejante cambio obliga a Chris a un reset general de sus hábitos y sus rutinas, nada que asuste a un tipo cuya insaciable curiosidad y capacidad de empatía -plasmadas en su célebre trilogía Entre limones, El loro en el limonero y Los almendros en flor, de gran éxito en España y Reino Unido- le han granjeado el respeto y la admiración de sus vecinos alpujarreños. Convertido en una especie de celebridad literaria en la zona, Chris utiliza su fama para ayudar a su antiguo socio en el negocio de esquilar ovejas; prepara una comida ante las cámaras de televisión para un conocido chef británico que ha acudido de visita, y descubre los riesgos de hablar en público en español. Sólo una pequeña muestra de las innumerables historias que surgen en su querido cortijo, donde Chris, devenido un hombre de campo de entusiasmo inagotable, se encuentra en su elemento. Allí, con la ayuda de Ana, su mujer, y rodeado de perros, gatos y ovejas, acabará ostentando el flamante título de agricultor ecológico y cultivará unos limones y naranjas muy apetitosos. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It's two decades since Chris Stewart moved to his farm on the wrong side of a river in the mountains of southern Spain and his daughter Chloe is preparing to fly the nest for university. In this latest, typically hilarious dispatch from El Valero, we find Chris, now a local literary celebrity, using his fame to help his old sheep-shearing partner find work on a raucous road trip.

From his hilarious attempts at public speaking when he implies that he is bisexual to his daughters school, the combined sheep and author tour that he undertakes with his good friend José, the judging at a tuna competition and the dealings that he has with the overbearing Spanish bureaucracy you know that he is squeezing the most out of living there.
But when he writes about El Valero is when you most feel his passion for this beautiful part of the world. Hemanages to gain organic status for the farm, and you hear when the valley suffers flooding after a deluge that blocks them off one winter and after a fox has had the last lot, chooses the right sort of chicken. The title of the book is taken from the unofficial title for him and two others that drop children at the stop for the school bus, that as their education comes to an end they know that they miss that early morning gathering.
It is a delight to read, witty and funny, but also written with this deep rooted love that his has for his chosen home, his family and friends. ( )
