Jean Roberts and her travels within Spain.

My love affair with Spain.

 

Jean began writing as a child and continued through her adult life and her career. Her books ‘A Kiss Behind the Castanets’ moving to Spain and the sequel, Life Beyond the Castanets, take a light hearted look into her journey from a forced early retirement through to choosing, buying, and renovating a house in Spain, and into falling in love with a country, its people, its culture, and, ultimately, falling in love with life itself.
