Description

Why don't' you...run away with the gypsies?

Ten-hour shifts in a high-end department store and catering to snooty customers...Nellie Bennett's life wasn't supposed to turn out this way. But maybe all she needs to do is infuse a little passion into her routine--through flamenco dance lessons, for instance.

What Nellie doesn't realize is that flamenco is not just a dance--it's a way of life that seems much more enticing than her depressing retail gig. So she packs her suede dance shoes and leaves everything she knows behind, flying halfway around the world to seek the authentic experience in Seville, where the dark-eyed gypsy boys and mouth-watering tapas are enough to make Nellie want to stay in Spain forever. And why shouldn't she?

Only in Spain is a foot-stomping, full-on firecracker of a memoir--crackling with energy, food, dance, gypsies, and love--that will capture your heart with the first Olé!

A vivid, entertaining memoir...Bennett had me itching to pack my bag and join her.--Ann Vanderhoof, author of An Embarrassment of Mangoes and The Spice Necklace
