Description

A delightful contemporary novel with a hint of romance, built on a dream. Young Charlotte, fascinated by the orange that she holds in her hand on a cold and damp British winter's day, falls asleep where her dreams transport her to the future; to sunshine lands in Spain and Portugal where oranges ripen in the winter sunshine. A handsome Portuguese stranger captures her heart in Portugal. After the escapades in the hills near Obidos with Daisy, Charlotte's dreams take her into AndalucIa, to the winter sun of southern Spain where she meets her Portuguese Senhor again, with a promise for the future. The detailed descriptions of the west Central region of Portugal and the interior and mountains of AndalucIa, bring to life the sights and sounds of the Iberian Peninsula as Charlotte and Daisy live life to the full. Does Charlotte find oranges? Who is the handsome Portuguese Senhor? And are they really dreams? ...Or reality? Marsh's love of adventure and travel to sunshine lands provide a rich seam of cultural, historical and geographical fact to the descriptions of central Portugal and the coast and interior of AndalucIa, in southern Spain.

Author Biography:

Rosalie Marsh writes on a variety of topics from hilarious biographical travel adventures to more serious stuff based on personal development - which are light-hearted and user-friendly. Marsh says: "In the midst of pots and pans I often dreamed of writing as many story lines popped up in my head. My wide range of activities provided me with a rich seam of material." As 'born-again' bikers on a Honda Gold Wing motorbike, Marsh and her husband found their lost youth travelling on their own -Just Us Two - in Europe, During their first Gold Wing experience, finding that the words flowed when recording their first profoundly emotional experiences in Ireland, Rosalie realised that there were the beginnings of a story. As the years passed, they extended their horizons, travelling over 50,000 miles on their own. Rosalie wrote about their amazing experience as feature articles, eventually concluding that together they formed an inspiring story of adventure and realisation of dreams. Later, this award-winning story developed into the 'Just Us Two' series of biographical travel adventures. Retiring to concentrate on her writing, Marsh drew on her skills and experiences in travel and adult education. From this, the series of Lifelong Learning Personal Effectiveness Guides developed - each a big workshop in a small package. Rosalie brings her twin passions of travel and achieving potential into her writing, which readers find 'exhilarating and inspirational'; 'a relaxing adventure not to be missed'; 'she is a gifted author who can bring her travel books alive, ' that she is 'a detailed and passionate professional' whose 'knowledge of work based learning and adult education is outstanding', to name a few comments. Embracing digital solutions, all books are always available worldwide in print and e-book formats for most devices. Rosalie Marsh writes under a pen name..
