Mobile Wife: Living the Dream in the House in the Postcard

Shena Matchett

The author opens the door on what it is like to be an expat wife. This is a light-hearted voyage of discovery told as a colourful, humorous memoir of living in Iran, Indonesia, Australia, Singapore and the USA. In each country visited, she illuminates the traditions, politics, magic practices and food, and provides a sharp insight into the people met and places visited. While living in faraway places, she and her husband fall in love with Provence, and despite many setbacks they buy and restore a four hundred year old ruin at the top of a spectacular perched village.
