Stewart, a former drummer in Genesis, middle-aged travel writer and professional sheepshearer, never quite explains why he and his wife, Ana, decided to quit England 11 years ago for a dilapidated farm without electricity, water or even a road in Andaluc!a, Spain.

When English sheep shearer Chris Stewart (once a drummer for Genesis) bought an isolated farmhouse in the mountains outside of Granada, Spain, he was fully aware that it didn't have electricity, running water, or access to roads. But he had little idea of the headaches and hilarity that would follow (including scorpions, runaway sheep, and the former owner who won't budge). He also had no idea that his memoir about southern Spain would set a standard for literary travel writing.
This rip-roaringly funny book about seeking a place in an earthy community of peasants and shepherds gives a realistic sense of the hassles and rewards of foreign relocation. Part of its allure stems from the absence of rose-colored glasses, mainly Stewart's refusal to merely coo about the piece of heaven he's found or to portray all residents as angels. Stewart's hilarious and beautifully written passages are deep in their honest perceptions of the place and the sometimes xenophobic natives, whose reception of the newcomers ranges from warm to gruff.
After reading about struggles with dialects, animal husbandry, droughts, flooding, and such local rituals as pig slaughters and the rebuilding of bridges, you may not wish to live Chris Stewart's life. But you can't help but admire him and his wife, Ana, for digging out a niche in these far-flung mountains, for successfully befriending the denizens, and for so eloquently and comically telling the truth. The rich, vibrant, and unromanticized candor of Driving over Lemons makes it a laudable standout in a genre too often typified by laughable naiveté. --Melissa Rossi

評分一直很喜欢欧洲！只是对西班牙这个国家了解甚少，可能是由于其建筑的风格中夹杂了阿拉伯的元素，或者还有些说不清的原因，如今让自己突发了些莫名的好奇，尤其是看到这本由英国人写《吉他 羊奶 天堂》时，那张封面上漂亮的水彩画触动了心中一些久违的向往，于是便毫不犹豫地阅...
評分每天进进出出于文明社会，充分享受着文明带给我的超级现代化生活，却又不能不时常向往自然，向往乡村，于是就生发了各种各样以回归自然为主题的旅游或度假活动。 其实偶尔逃离一下既定的生活，回归到自然之中，给身、心都放一个小假，这是当下很多都市人都异常相似的生活一面...
評分是的，带着吉他，喝着羊奶，这里是安达卢西亚，作者的天堂…… 这是最好的地方，这里远离尘世的喧嚣，景色宜人，空气清新，以及最干净的水和最新鲜的食物……在这里，人和自然是前所未有的亲近；这是最糟的地方，这里【没有入口、没有自来水、没有电……还有那么大片的土地要...
評分凡与旅游有关的事物都容易触动我那颗驿动的心。但看到本书的推介文字这样写道：“一部令全欧洲神往的旅游杰作”、“英国年度畅销冠军”、“世界畅销1000000册”，我还是有些将信将疑。如今行走在路上的人越来越多，描叙人间天堂的游记作品也多得让人应接不暇，让人恨不得下一刻...

评分Entertaining. I actually bumped into the godmother of their daughter on the plane from Bristol to Malaga. She said Chris was exactly like what he came across in the book.
