Wish I could be there, but I will get a copy signed next time I see you! Now all those that want it made into a movie...find her a contact and let's get it done!!!! Someone must know someone that could do it. If we all tell two friends and they tell two friends....the possibilities are endless!
- Thread starter Matilda
- Start date
Matilda's book launch - Rocky's bar, Sosua
Since movies studios are out of ideas and keep on making crappy movies with story lines that suck and horrid remakes, I don't see why not.

I really wanted meet you and other DR1ers but I don't think I can make it this weekend.Church is making my wife make Kim Chi this weekend. If anybody from Santiago is going and willing to do me a big favor and get an autographed copy for me. Let me know. I would give you the book price and buy you couple of cold one for the trouble. Otherwise I'll have to buy from Amazon and have our folks ship it with next container (which could be for ever) like next month.
I can put one on Caribe tours bus for you if that helps?

I wanna play the "Ugly American" part!
"Typecasting" at it's best!

Have you moved to the north pole CC? Well would be great to meet you if you make it to Sosua. Can't promise you a free copy as am one mean bitch.

Just read the book (mom came the other day with it). Excellent read. Very honest look at life here in DR especially political. Kudos for a great journey and being able to share it. Can't wait for the sequel, life in the campo.
Ive talked with the actress Claudette Lali before and sent her an FB message about the book. BTW Amazon is almost sold out of copies, there are only 15 left!

I just finished reading the book! wow! Devoured it in two days! And I thought I knew just about everything after living here for 5 months every year for 12 years! I had a lot of chuckles, but when it came to the political stuff, I was flabergasted!
You are survivor Matlida! I hope you sell tons of your book!

Just as a quick reminder to all.... tomorrow, Sunday, 24th March is the official north coast launch of 'What about your saucepans' written in superb fashion by our very own Matilda and she will be at Rocky's from noon until 3 pm for you to purchase your autographed copies.
This is a book that tells it 'like it is' for one British woman who came to the DR with limited expectations and an open mind - along the way she reached the moon and also the depths of despair.
I do know she will appreciate as many as possible coming along to Rocky's tomorrow to meet her and have a chat and buy the book of course!!!

Picked up a copy at Rocky's today and started reading on the Metro back to Santiago. Nice meeting a few dr1'ers and had a really good time. Met Matilda and Whirlybird for the very first time and what a couple of classy ladies.
