Product Description

Comforting and irreverent, encouraging and practical, Robin Pascoe's book for expatriate wives (originally entitled "Culture Shock! A Wife's Guide) is back in print with a new name "A Broad Abroad: The Expat Wife's Guide to Successful Living Abroad." It has lost none of its original empathetic and honest advice for married women who have been catapulted into a foreign country. It is essential as an entry visa, packed with emotional and practical support for relocating your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic-- a godsend, September 12, 2009
By IzziGirl (Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Yes, much of the book is common sense, but it completely lifted me out of a funk that had gone on for three months after moving to our first post. Before reading the book, I looked around at the other trailing spouses here and thought I was so out of place-- everyone was primped, elegant, had it together. The book helped me realize that I wasn't alone, and that I wasn't the first person ever to freak out. It helped me put words to the emotions I was going to, which then helped me talk about them with my partner. Before, I couldn't even articulate what was wrong and my partner watched helplessly as I went through my meltdown. The book helped me identify that larger community of women who are going through this kind of adjustment, and helped me push through the transition period once and for all. THANK YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything Robin Writes is 5-Stars!, September 10, 2009
By Danielle Barkhouse, author of The Expat Arc (From Canada to India to Texas) - See all my reviews
If I've said it once, I've said to every expat I know--Buy the Expat Expert's books!

When this book was originally written, the word 'expatriate' was not even in my vocabulary. After having spent nearly half of my life outside my native country, I'm so thankful to Robin Pascoe for putting this book back in print. It's full of timeless advice that trailing wives, expat mothers, and global broads everywhere will take to heart for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for all trailing spouses--veterans and first-timers alike, September 2, 2009
By Tracey Starr (American expat in Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're a trailing spouse (or accompanying partner, or whatever term you prefer) or planning to be one, read this book! Even after four international moves, and as the editor of an expat women's magazine ([...]), I still found Robin's latest book both helpful and comforting. This lifestyle offers great adventures and opportunities, but also unique challenges. No matter how many times one survives a move or acclimates to a new city/country, just when you think you've mastered the art of relocation, a new challenge springs up and throws you for a loop. Reading this book--along with all of her others--will help you keep things in perspective. You'll laugh and nod along with Robin's mistakes and adventures, and you'll learn practical tips for thriving as a trailing spouse. Buy it and read it right away.
