At the age of 34 Ian Walthew was the worldwide marketing director of the ''International Herald Tribune'' living in various parts of the world and leading a jet-set lifestyle. He was also on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Faced with a move back to London, he resigned and rather than buy a property in London he and his Australian wife bought a cottage in the Cotswolds to give Ian the peace which he needed to recuperate.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of this book to The Bookbag.

|comment= An excellent review - but with one glaring omission: Ian Walthew's troubled and troubling childhood and the profound sense of loss which permeates his life - and which was probably the springboard for the book. I hope his exquisite writing was as much balm for his soul as it was for mine.
Cheers, Joan
