Dvora Treisman

4.9/5 (30813 ratings)

Description:She was 52 when she took the great leap into the unknown, and, together with her cat, flew from San Francisco to Barcelona on a one-way ticket. She had very little money, no papers, no job, no problem. She had her new Catalan husband and was determined that it would all work out.The apartment was already bought (sight-unseen) and paid for. The shock of the deed arriving in the mail with a much lower price than what they had paid was fading. The cat yowling in his carrier under her feet would be okay. And so would she.Drunks who whistle Verdi and pee on the street, furniture that won't fit through the doors, explaining to the pharmacist that you need a laxative when you don't speak the language, and shopping at the emblematic Boqueria market are her daily reality. But challenges turn into fear when her husband decides he wants a divorce.In stories and vignettes Dvora Treisman deftly explains much about her new home: Templar Knights at Miravet, the Roman aqueduct in Tarragona, the caganer (shitter) who squats in Catalan nativity scenes, adopting abandoned dogs and cats, a murder in the town cemetery on All Saints, and where that missing money went.If you've ever dreamed of moving abroad, you might be inspired by this honest and engaging memoir of an expatriate who found a new home in the old world. If you enjoy traveling from the comfort of your sofa, you will delight in the detailed and insightful descriptions of the people, places and culture of this corner of northern Spain.Dvora Treisman has lived in Catalonia for over twenty years, has many appealing stories to tell, and tells them with intelligence and wit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
