Today we have to present a book from the booklist. We, or better I, have accidentally chosen "Driving over Lemens" by Chris Stewart. Actually we wanted to take "On a shoestring to Coorg" but I signed in the wrong line. Never mind! This book we present now sounds great.
During my research I also came across some new expressions:
- peasant = bäuerlich Bauer (a peasant farm in Spain)
- thrive = gedeihen, blühen (watching his baby daughter Chloe grow and trive there)
- darn = verflixt (the book is so darn good that...)
- folly = Torheit, Narrheit (He persuades his wife to take part in this folly)
- idyll - pronunciation /'idil/
I haven't decided yet which second book I'm going to read. I will listen to the presentations today and make my decision afterwards.
