Retiring to Spain

Reviews / Votes

"A welcome addition to the literature on international retirement migration, offering important and significant conceptual insights into community, belonging and home through in-depth analysis grounded in the daily lives, dreams and disappointments of working class women migrants. Highly recommended." Professor Peter Dwyer, University of York "This fascinating study reveals the complexity of people's journeys undertaken as they search for community. Their stories of pursuing this often elusive goal are ones of resourcefulness and hope." Professor Graham Crow, University of Edinburgh "Retiring to Spain is an outstanding resource for scholars with an interest in older women, in retirement, or in narrative methods." The Gerontologist "A good addition to the methodological literature on narratives in the particularly under-researched area of women's retirement migration experiences." Dr Kelly Hall, Birmingham University "A beautifully crafted book confirming the importance of subjectivity and agency framed within persistent gendered social worlds." Professor Louise Ackers, University of Salford
