Customer Reviews

When you're done reading it, leave it on his nightstand.
Did you know that the divorce rate among expatriates is an additional 50% higher than the national average?

Kudos to Robin Pascoe for serving up a reality check on a sensitive subject with a side dish of humor. As a person who has "been there, done that" I highly recommend that both husband and wife read this book. It will give married couples plenty to chew on before expatriating.

Moveable Marriage Reviewed
Excellent book for future or present expats. The author is brutally honest and forthright about what challenges lay ahead when you move your marriage to another country. It is specifically aimed at women who leave their jobs/careers behind following their husband as he pursues his career. Includes many humorous anecdotal stories and numerous resource links. Excellent read for expats, "trailing spouses" and their families.

Especially perfect for new expats
As you may know, Robin Pascoe, the self-acclaimed "expat expert", is a highly credible figure in the whole expat/relocation world. She's probably written more books in this genre than anyone. At least anyone I've ever heard of.

I first read this book a couple of years ago, after already spending several years on the expat circuit as a trailing spouse. I enjoyed the book a lot and related to a lot of Robin's experiences and her great 'real' advice. But it wasn't until I lent this book to a new friend, who had only been in Mexico for 8 months or so, that I realised what an impact it could have on newcomers...

My friend read the book, then came and asked me if I had any more books by Robin Pascoe. She then went on to admit that she never knew anyone else felt like she did, and that she had been taking medication for some time now, to deal with all of the feelings that she thought were just 'hers' and hers alone. After all, she hadn't really become involved with many other expats yet and how else could she know that what she was experiencing was just 'normal' for an expat? To my friend, Robin's book was a lifesaver. True story.

(Sorry I didn't write this review earlier. I only just found my very old note to write up an Amazon review.)
