Short Synopsis
Laugh, gasp, and cheer for Robert and Sabina as they swap skyscrapers for stone cottages in The Crinkle Crankle Wall, a hilarious and heartfelt memoir about building a new life—and a guesthouse—in the wilds of Andalusia. Will their dreams of a simpler life flourish amidst rogue builders, power outages, and the harsh realities of rural paradise?

Full Synopsis
In pursuit of their dream of a simpler life amidst the natural beauty of Andalusia, Sabina and Robert embark on a life-changing journey from Abu Dhabi to the rugged landscapes of Spain. Drawn by the allure of whitewashed villages, red geraniums, and endless olive trees, they find their paradise—a quaint stone cottage nestled in a secluded mountain valley.

Excited to transform their new abode into a welcoming guest house, the couple dives headfirst into their venture. With scant foresight and an abundance of determination, Sabina and Robert grapple with rogue builders, a lack of electricity, and the unpredictability of Mother Nature.

Yet, it is amid these trials that they forge meaningful connections with their neighbors. As they adapt, they discover that life in the sun is far from the carefree utopia they envisioned.

This poignant tale follows the duo's rollercoaster of highs and lows. From the monotonous routine of their past to the daily challenges in Andalusia, every moment is an adventure, an opportunity for growth, and a chance to rediscover the true essence of the good life.

A perfect read for the fans of Driving Over Lemons, Under the Tuscan Sun, and A Year in Provence
