In this her first novel Lucy Neville has captured the total essence of life in a new country superbly. For those who have taken up the challenge of total immersion in a new culture and for those who would truly love to, this is Lucy’s heart-warming journey which she invites us to share.

Loves, life, challenges, the “end of the rope” and so many warm, funny moments make up this quirky look at life in Mexico City as the very new kid in town.

 

Even the simple becomes a challenge until Lucy befriends a variety of native Mexicans who are all too happy to help her settle into her new culture.

From the girls in the First Wives Breakfast Club to tangled love, street- hawkers, a visit from her family and the confronting reality of having to earn a living teaching English in a country which survives on corruption and politics, Lucy comes to understand that to live in Mexico and speak Spanish like a native, first you have to think like one, then it is easy -which all comes about with a little or a lot of, but always chaotic, help from her friends.

Warm, funny and fun you feel you are there – living and enjoying the tempo of life in Mexico City.

Well done Lucy Neville!
