Stripped In Spain... A heartfelt account of the truth behind the TV series - after the cameras stopped rolling. By Dawn Buckler
Price: $16.99 CND* |
Like their passionate relationship, the dream of a new life in sunny Spain falls drastically apart for eccentric couple Dawn & Rocco as they take on the renovation of a beautiful villa in the hills outside Barcelona. This unconventional Canadian/British former rockstar couple suffer the extremes of relationship and renovation hell, narrowly surviving a series of horrifying and sometimes hilarious encounters through Spanish cultures, systems, and way of life - to television audiences around the world. Buckler spins a vibrant, honest and risky account of what happens when the cameras leave and the reality of two property-virgins facing a reno project in a foreign land, without any experience, knowledge or common sense, hits them smack on. The result is a fiery and emotional tale of lost love, lost money and lost minds. "Just try putting this book down. You’ll pour through it, laughing, cringing and yelling at their combined ignorance. Buckler spins an almost unbelievable tale of deceit, passion, dreams and disaster in a descriptive and dynamic style.
Recommended reading for anyone who wants to feel normal – after meeting Dawn & Rocco, life seems wonderfully mundane." J Veitch, Webb Publishing |
