What happens when marriage meets the magnificent chaos of life abroad? Stay Married Abroad is Basil Boothroyd's wickedly witty survival guide for couples brave enough — or foolhardy enough — to transplant their domestic lives into foreign soil, chronicling the comic trials, cultural clashes, and conjugal negotiations that ensue when two people attempt to keep their partnership intact while navigating the bewildering customs of life overseas. Boothroyd, long celebrated as one of Britain's sharpest humorists and a stalwart contributor to *Punch* magazine, brings his trademark dry wit and impeccable comic timing to bear on the universal absurdities of marriage and travel alike. His prose is light on its feet yet pointed in its observations, illustrating with gleeful precision how even the most devoted couples can be undone by a foreign menu, an unreliable hire car, or a hotel room with inexplicable plumbing. For anyone who has ever wondered whether their relationship could survive a two-week holiday — let alone a permanent posting abroad — this book poses a question that is at once irresistible and deeply unsettling.
