I live in Australia and as far as I know Sarah and her family live happily in Sydney. I have seen Sarah Turner comment in a video clip from a wrters' convention of some sort. I really liked the story of Sarah's life in France.

Which I enjoyed reading as much as her book, so I've signed up for more. I didn't move abroad for love, just kind of got stuck in Spain, and totally identified with so much of what you both said about being fishes out of water in another country, it is indeed more than entertaining and encouraging to find other people feeling the same things (and writing about them so very well). I wish your book had been published, and if by some miracle it has after all, I will be wanting to read that. I am so sorry for the tragedy in your life but love what you are doing now. The best books turn up in my life by chance, and one of those led me to you, so I'll take that as another piece of serendipity. <br />What is she on about now?https://www.blogger.com/profile/14931350316795904323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725035943025805254.post-43780192024536351682017-01-01T00:35:13.222-06:002017-01-01T00:35:13.222-06:00I just now stumbled across your blog Beth, while g...I just now stumbled across your blog Beth, while googling to see if I could find more information about Sarah Turnbull, as I've almost finished reading "All Good Things". I also read "Almost French" some years ago and loved it, as did my mother and my sister. I was very sorry to read about your situation and what happened to Marcus and can understand what a very difficult situation that would have put you in.<br /><br />"Almost French" was of particular interest to me as I had married an Austrian in the early 1980's and went to live in Vienna where I stayed for almost 19 years and where our three sons were born. Even though Sarah married a Frenchman and seems to have had a very happy marriage culminating in the eventual birth of a longed-for baby, I could identify with her on many levels regarding getting used to living in a foreign country. I spoke German to a degree and that became more fluent with time but I found the Austrians in official capacities in particular, quite cold and sometimes rude and went through a period early on when I thought I wouldn't be able to get used to life there. Subsequently, I did have some very happy years there but eventually the difficulties, both personal and cultural, that my husband and I experienced in our relationship, took their toll and I decided I was desperate for a break.<br /><br />In 2000, with my husband's blessing, I came back to Australia with my three boys for a trial separation of a year, towards the end of which time neither the boys nor I wanted to return to Vienna. This caused problems initially but it all finally settled down and we were very happy here while still maintaining contact with the boys' father and family in Austria. I am now finding though, with my boys grown up, that their roots are calling them back and I now have one living in London, one in Vienna and one soon to finish university in Sydney and intent on returning to Austria afterwards to see how he likes living there.<br /><br />We visited Austria every 3 years while living in Australia so it wasn't entirely "foreign" to them and will always be like a second home to me. My question to myself now though, is what will I end up doing if all three of them end up settling in Europe for good? I miss them all a lot and while I'm happy if they're happy, I'd still like to be able to see them more often. So how the next few years pan out should be interesting!AUS-Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061267896851164986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725035943025805254.post-4878009706175151402017-01-01T00:33:56.087-06:002017-01-01T00:33:56.087-06:00I just now stumbled across your blog Beth, while g...I just now stumbled across your blog Beth, while googling to see if I could find more information about Sarah Turnbull, as I've almost finished reading "All Good Things".

And i read this post. Its already 2 years ago that you wrote this but its so well written. I really enjoyed it very much. I was once so close to move to norway for my love at the time. But in the end i didnt go. Now i still wonder what my life would be like if i had gone. But that remains a question of coourse. He lived here in belgium for a year. Moved here for e. But it was hard for him too. In suych a relationship one is alwasys incomplete, i think. One has to keave family behibd and will always miss them. I dont recomnemd such a relationshio. Its hard, its cvomplicated, it hurts. Even now 20 years later i still think about it often. Thats the impact it had. But thank you for your post. I hooe to read moire from you!

Very unfortunate. My very belated Condolences. <br />Anyhoodle, my wife and I have been home for just about a year now after having lived in Vienna, Austria for three and a half years, and it's easy to see, or perceive that the "Germanic" folk are rude. UNLESS you speak their language. Only my opinion. But even after you get to know some of them, they can still seem abrupt compared to our sometimes smarmy North American ways. <br />Plus....the Krauts never have warmed up to the Yanks. Sad but true. You know, "The Marshall Plan", all those air bases, etc.<br />I enjoyed the read. <br />Thank-you.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.com
