Expat families in Brazil

Expats have been all over the world since decades. A big influence on the success is how the family is doing. Yet, wives are not supported and given enough attention about how their lives will be challenged by living abroad. This book looks into the everyday lives of expat wives. The context is Brazil, which has potential and will have expats also in the future. "This is a great book for any wife going abroad with their spouses" (Anne, quotation from the book)."I would have loved to have this information when I was coming" (Richelle, quotation from the book)."I like how an individual voice has been given to different women to speak out their experiences from the expat partner's point of view. The author has gathered these individual interviews around common themes concerning the Brazilian way of life and culture and brings out many useful tips and hints on how to survive the first steps when moving to a different country. The book is based on real individual experiences, which makes it an easy to identify with. It brings out the concrete and practical issues, as well as cultural differences and emotional issues in a lively and genuine manner." (P?ivi, review from amazon.com.br)
