He even discovers love again -- with Mandy, an attendant at the Shining Shores nursing home. When Colin's ex arrives to woo him back to her and his native land, he has to choose between his new love and the woman he's known for years. \u003cbr\u003e With its pitch-perfect dialogue, \u003ci\u003eNew Cardiff\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on the exhilarating cross-cultural odyssey of a man hurtling headlong into life.","brand":"Washington Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44300649595135,"sku":"9780743444163","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_706336fd-2d78-4333-adbc-a3d3d73e6e2c.jpg?v=1746938898","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780743444163","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
