Life In A Postcard by Rosemary Bailey

Life In A Postcard by Rosemary Bailey

This title is not just Rosemary Bailey's account of the challenges of life in a small mountain community, but also a celebration of the rugged beauty of French Catalonia, the pleasures of Catalan cooking, and an exploration of an alternative, often magical world.

'Enchantingly told..I just couldn't put it down' * France In Print *
'Reading this utterly unputdownable account, it's easy to share the dream that drove the couple...We too could be living a life like theirs. And if we can't, this book is a highly diverting substitute' * Amazon.co.uk *
'Life in a Postcard is not just the author's account of the challenges of life in a small mountain community, but also a celebration of French Catalonia and the pleasures of Catalan cooking. I do not envy them one bit - but I did enjoy reading about life in the French Pyrenees in all its manifestations, in a comfortable armchair at home...as I am sure you will' * Living France *
'Offers some real flavour of the beauty of Catalonia and may actually inspire others to follow her path' * What's On In London *
'More diverse than the usual Brit transplant to that ideal place in France, Rosemary Bailey's account takes in monastic history and a marital situation which might paint a grin on the faces of the hipper reader...Sweet book' * Time Out *

Rosemary Bailey has written two further books about the Pyrenees. The Man who Married a Mountain (Bantam Books 2005) followed the romantic 19th century mountaineer. Sir Henry Russell-Killough, in his quest for the sublime. Her most recent book, Love and War in the Pyrenees, (Weidenfeld & Nicolson 2008) is an investigation of the Second World War, combining her own travels with contemporary interviews, documents andletters, described by the Jewish Chronicle as, 'a quiet triumph of historical reconstruction'.
She is a fellow of the Royal Literary Fund and teaches writing for the Arvon Writers' Foundation and runs her own writers' retreats in the Pyrenees.
