[Book Review] FORCED TO FLY

Oct 8, 2012

FORCED TO FLY
Summertime Publishing
298pp, paperback, 12 euros

Forced to Fly, an anthology of both published and un-published writers who live abroad, helps those in transition to see the funny side, while offering practical help and resources.  
 
Everyone knows that laughter is the best medicine, but Forced to Fly is more than a collection of funny stories about seeing the funny side of the day-to-day blunders we all make. It is packed with stories that resonate with anyone who has lived abroad. Its opening chapters, written by experts, counsellors and real-life expats who have struggled with culture shock, will provide support and advice to guide you through any dark patches.  
 
Blogger contributors AdventuresInExpatland, DisparateHuisvrouw and WordGeyser make this a thoroughly modern version of an old favourite.  
 
2nd Edition edited by Jo Parfitt and written by Expatriates Everywhere!
