Jill Pennington writes a story that easily be read as excellent fiction, but sadly it isn't - it's true. Her constant battles to provide a  home, food, stability and comfort for her children, after leaving the UK and moving to rural Italy, demonstrates her enormous capacity to buckle down and get on with it - whether it's digging a well, building a new house or remonstrating with her uncooperative ex-husband. Jill is an inspiration to us all, 'The diary of a single parent abroad' is beautifully written and edited, infused with humour,  candour and an indefatigable desire to never give up. Can't wait to read the next instalment of Jill's life in Italy.
