IT’S TIME FOR THE COURAGEOUS ELIZA TO SPREAD HER WINGS AND START LIVING FOR HERSELF. Eliza's flat is bursting at the seams! After her children grew up and moved out, she found a smaller flat that was perfectly adequate. But now, all three of her offspring have gradually returned home. Every room in the flat is occupied, Eliza is sharing a bed with her eldest daughter and her dogs, and on top of that, she's trying to finish an online university course to find a new job. As soon as Eliza sees an advert for a house-sitter in the Spanish countryside, she decides it's time to escape for a while. She travels to southern Spain and is put in charge of a house, a herd of Iberian pigs, and two large dogs. Gradually, Eliza begins to discover more about the local gastronomy, culture, and people... and the southern sun brings her a new zest for life and perhaps even a new love.
