"On the Move follows on from Charles Hindlip's successful memoir An Auctioneer's Lot, which charted his illustrious career at Christie's. As well as sharing a love of art, he and his wife Fiona have always had a passion for moving house and foreign travel. The couple relocated some 30 times in their 46 years of marriage (which perhaps explains their daughter Kirstie Allsopp's talent for house-hunting), finding time in between these sometimes traumatic upheavals to explore Europe, Russia, Africa, Asia and north and south America. This is a story of highs and lows - the lucky breaks, the disappointments, the journey from bedsits to Belgravia mansions - punctuated by tales of their adventures from the Andes to Angkor Wat."--
