Misadventures in Rural East Germany
We-have-a-house-in-the-country?
Lena nodded solemnly. Where? I almost shouted, briefly rattling the table. No, wait, don t tell me it s Todi in Umbria, right? The old manor house, the one with the lemon groves! Alt-Globnitz. Alt-Globnitz? Suddenly I felt cold. Alt-Globnitz. It s a really nice place. You will love it. In a desperate attempt to save his relationship with girlfriend Lena and take a break from the world of journalism, Germany correspondent Roger Boyes agrees to make a great escape from the easy urban lifestyle of Berlin and decamp to the countryside. Roger has hopes for southern Italy, but Lena has inherited a run-down old schloss in deepest, darkest Brandenburg. Needing a form of income, they decide to set up a B & B with a British theme. Enter unhelpful Harry and his Trinidadian chef cousin, a mad Scot to advise them on re-branding Brandenburg, some suicidal frogs and a posse of mad tourists. It all culminates, naturally, in a cricket match between the Brits and the Germans on an old Russian minefield. Farce meets romance in this follow-up to the successful A Year in the Scheisse.Buy now!
