About this listen

Seriously Mum, What's an Alpaca? is the frank and charming story of a brave couple who risk everything to move to Spain to breed alpacas. Their intention is to make a living, but first they must negotiate their way through the Spanish property market, local characters, rogue builders and the worst weather Andalucía has seen for 100 years.

Alan and Lorna experience the joy, but also the heartbreak of alpaca breeding, picking up an assortment of stray animals on the way.

Delightful Tale

This is a lovely, heart warming, easy book - animal lovers will adore it, especially the animals own additions to the tale.
It's always uplifting to hear about people who have taken the bold step to follow their dreams, and I have to admit I'm a sucker for it everytime.
Yes, it's a little twee and cutesy in places, but it tells it all the highs and the lows, and all with a lovely sense of humour.
I engaged with all the characters, I truly felt like I was friend they were sharing their adventure with. Should there be a sequel I would probably read it.
