Reviews of the first book:

'A fascinating adventure.' BBC Breakfast News

'Dorian writes movingly about their experiences.' Western Morning News

'A great read, full of escapism and gentle humour.' The Globe and Mail

'A cross between TV sitcom The Good Life and an extreme Driving Over Lemons.' The Bookseller
