Living Abroad is Great and All ...

But sometimes it can be kind of a pain. For example, when you read a review of a book about Roald Dahl’s life as a British spy in Washington, DC during World War II.

At any rate, if you’ve never read Roald Dahl’s autobiography of his time in East Africa with the Shell Oil Company and as an RAF fighter pilot in North Africa and Greece, Going Solo, you really owe it to yourself to check it out. He did more than write children's books and amazingly twisted short stories (though that would certainly be enough)!
