Nine women share the emotional and practical realities of life away from 'home'.

Grief, loneliness, Brexit, motherhood, identity, belonging, rootlessness, drinking culture and integration are just some of the issues tackled in a series of powerful stories written by nine women on the challenges of expat life. In one of the first books of its kind, these women reveal some of the emotional upheavals and struggles that go hand-in-hand with moving away from their native 'home', which have, until now, remained largely untold.

Reviews for #LivingThe Dream: Expat life stripped bare

Divorce, death, alcoholism... these are women's real stories about what lies beneath the Facebook veneer of life abroad. They may be a harsh wake-up call in many cases, but their stories are also refreshing, uplifting and beautifully told. Zoe Dare Hall, Sunday Times
