Summary

It's two decades since Chris Stewart moved to his farm on the wrong side of a river in southern Spain and his daughter Chlöe is preparing to leave for university. We find Chris, a local literary celebrity, using his fame to help his old sheep-shearing partner find work on a raucous road trip; cooking a TV lunch for visiting British chef, Rick Stein; and, most movingly, visiting famine-stricken Niger for Oxfam.

Critic reviews

"When an author is as modest and humorous as this, his story cannot be told too often." ( The Times)

As always, a fun to listen to documentary story.

I love Spain, and listening to Chris's palavas over the years I have lived the life that I was destined for but have so far, not made.

A thoroughly enjoyable book.

I really enjoyed listening to Chris and his amazing life living in Spain. He and his wife have found a beautiful part of Spain and I certainly envy them both. I was a little surprised (and slightly disappointed) to find out that this was the last book in a series and I really hope that Chris finds the time to narrate all his books, as I for one would love to listen to them all.

Leaves you wanting more!

I bought Driving over Lemons when it first came out and loved it. Having almost forgotten about it in the intervening years I was pleased to see Last Days of the Bus Club included in my membership so downloaded it and was again, absolutely enthralled by the tales helped along by Chris Stewart's excellent narration. Now I'm waiting for Driving over Lemons to be released as an audiobook!

Gently humorous

I read Chris Stewart’s other books (ie in the normal way on paper) so it was great to hear the finale in his actual voice. He has a a lovely gently humorous tone and as ever the stories and characters make the reader/listener splutter with laughter. I really enjoyed this book

Great to hear Chris's voice

Beautifully written book about Chris's life in the Alpujarras in Spain. So pleased to find this on Audible. Now we need your earlier books Chris, Driving Over Lemons, and Parrot in the Pepper Tree.
