Review: 'An intriguing tale by a former foreign correspondent who
followed his dream and built a hotel on a lake in a remote part of
Poland. In the post-Communist era John Borrell found himself
battling old style corruption and intimidation. As this elegantly
written book shows, he eventually triumphed and continues to live
the dream' --James MacManus, author of On the Broken Shore and
Language of the Sea 'This is not simply another
foreigner-makes-home-abroad story. Borrell was for many years a
foreign correspondent for TIME and he writes with a reporter's keen
eye for detail on his battle against corruption while building a
lodge, and a new life, on a beautiful lake in northern Poland'
--Alan Cowell, author of The Terminal Spy and New York Times Paris
correspondent 'A deft weave of reporting, history and personal
anecdotes, John Borrell's account of the travails, drama and
misadventures of creating a luxury lodge in post-Communist Poland
reads like a novel - one that could only have been lived, and
written, by a consummate foreign correspondent' --Allen Pizzey, CBS
News foreign correspondent.
