Island Life

When Andy Hanlon went looking for work on Guernsey and the Isle of Man he didn't bargain for quite so much hilarity, absurdity, drama and danger. While island life may sound idyllic, living in a tent - and in a car at one stage - is less glamorous. Whether a stowaway, or standing on a sheep, Andy's adventures make compelling reading. Island Life is a tale of encounters with authority and authoritarians, evictions and excessive drinking, subterfuge and slumbering perilously close to a cliff edge in the dark. Further danger arises in the form of a vicious stabbing incident, a near-drowning and a hammer wielding attack, in this intriguing story of how Andy's Island life, proves precarious and eventful beyond any expectations.
