Críticas:

It is everything that made the first book so hugely successful - endearing, heartwarming, self-deprecating, sometimes surreal. (William Leith Evening Standard)

He's pulled it off: this is as funny and charming as the first book. (Alasdair Palmer Sunday Telegraph)

A GIANT FOR 2002. The chapters I saw were wonderful. (Sarah Broadhurst The Bookseller)

Chris Stewart's story cannot be told too often. (The Times)

An unexpected gem of a book, written with a mix of insight and self-deprecation that echoes Bill Bryson at his funniest. (Dundee Evening Telegraph & Post)

Stewart never patronises, he just observes . . . funny, generous and warm . (Sue Arnold Guardian)

A brilliant follow-up. (The Bookseller)

Easily the best and funniest of all those otherwise wearisome expatriate diaries. (Independent on Sunday)

All quite delightful and slips down as easily as a small bottle of Spanish Beer. (Giles Foden Conde Naste Traveller)

Reseña del editor:

Chris Stewart'sDRIVING OVER LEMONS told the story of his move to a remote mountain farm in Las Alpujarras - an oddball region of Spain, south of Granada. Funny, insightful and real, the book became an international bestseller.

A PARROT IN A PEPPER TREE, the sequel to Lemons, follows the lives of Chris, Ana and their daughter, Chloë, as they get to grips with a misanthropic parrot who joins their home, Spanish school life, neighbours in love, their amazement at Chris appearing on the bestseller lists . . and their shock at discovering that their beloved valley is once more under threat of a dam.

A Parrot in the Pepper Tree also looks back on Chris Stewart's former life - the hard times shearing in midwinter Sweden (and driving across the frozen sea to reach island farms); his first taste of Spain, learning flamenco guitar as a 20-year old; and his illustrious music career, drumming for his schl band Genesis (sacked at 17, he never quite became Phil Collins), and then for a circus.

. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
