Taking a giant leap of faith, Gordon Cope, a successful journalist, and his wife Linda, a computer technician, quit their jobs, sell their home and escape to the South Pacific. With stories from the remote Cook Islands, bustling Sydney, Australia, new-agey New Zealand and Perry Mason’s orchid garden in Fiji, So We Sold Our House and Ran Away to the South Pacific follows Gordon and Linda’s search for happiness – and the best sauvignon blanc in the southern hemisphere.

Sometimes your wildest dreams come true. When his wife Linda is offered a one-year posting in France, journalist Gord Cope found himself on a fantasy assignment; a year in Paris with nothing to do but write. They settle into an apartment on rue Barbette on the Right Bank of the Seine in Le Marais, a neighbourhood rich in culture, conspiracy and craziness—in short, their kind of place.
