I followed my man to Lausanne - a tale about moving to Switzerland

Reached No.1 in Amazon’s Best Sellers Top 100 Paid list in Swiss Travel (on Amazon UK).

A darkly humorous account of the author’s new life living in Lausanne in the Canton of Vaud. From the very first day when a pharmacist looks at her and cries, “L’hôpital, immédiatement” things don’t work out quite as she’d hoped. Meanwhile, the opposite is true for her husband, who loves everything about Switzerland and even begins to look Swiss.

If you think that talk of an accommodation shortage in the area is exaggerated, that The Toblerone Line has something to do with chocolate, haven’t heard of Le Corbusier, Yves Dana or Henry Dunant then you need to read this book.
