The Nearest Way Home, by Daphne Fielding

“The Nearest Way Home describes the search for a perfect home not only for Daphne Fielding and her husband, Xan, but for their ever increasing number of friends and pets. Their quest begins in Cornwall in a house on the cliffs with a view over the sea to the Eddystone lighthouse. It moves to Morocco…” and from there to Portugal, then to France. “Daphne Fielding describes the changing landscape of her life with immense gusto and infectious enjoyment.”
