This is the true story of a couple who, when freed fromtheir parental responsibilities, leave their jobs, sell their home, and set offto find a new life in scenic Cornwall. Written in the first person, with unreserved candour and plenty ofhumour, the author reveals the trials and tribulations of the challenge ofestablishing a B & B with no previous experience, in a part of the countrywhich considers itself definitely not part of England.
Settling in an ancient town where the pace of life isreminiscent of their childhoods, they do their best to offer a five starexperience to guests from all over the world in exchange for very littlecash. The characters with whom they comeinto contact throughout are vividly and authentically portrayed, and anindomitable spirit and wonderful sense of humour prevails as their journey intopreviously uncharted territory progresses.
“Leaving England” cannot help but conjure up admiration forthis enterprising couple. Precisely andextremely well written, it is a delightfully entertaining and interesting read,containing not only many humorous moments but also some very poignantrecollections – the latter being extremely moving and which will no doubt be ofespecial appeal to the female reader.
