Living on Rocks James B Rieley

Living on Rocks - A Memoir of Sangria and Cyclones


Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in another country,

not speaking the language?

What happens when things go wrong and you're ill with a mysterious disease?

More to the point, what happens when you come face to face with a

Category 5 Cyclone during hurricane season?


If you have ever thought of living abroad you may want to read these expat stories from the Spanish island of Mallorca and the British Virgin Islands, YOU MAY WANT TO READ LIVING ON ROCKS FIRST.


This book is a compilation of travel memoirs over the past 18 years. Dr J B Rieley was living on Saphir, his sixth boat when hurricane Irma struck, the worst in Atlantic history.


"Living in Spain as an expat for 15-years I can so relate to this book. Learning the language and different customs, making friends, dealing with officialdom and of course those curved-ball life-events thrown at you when least expected. The Mallorca tales are a well-written snapshot into expat life." Vicki McLeod. Award-winning blogger.


"When Rieley writes, you feel as if you are there at his side and I know I will never look at a Hotel bathtub the same again!" Pat Duckworth. Best selling author of 'Hot Women Rock'


"I love books about expats that relocate to other countries. A hugely enjoyable read and such an antidote to the usual stressful daily life." James Newton
