This illustrated story follows the chaotic journey of a disillusioned naive artist as she makes several life-changing decisions. Surfacing from a broken marriage she dives headlong into the pursuit her dreams. Eventually she crosses the channel to find tranquillity and creative fulfilment, but is also lured like so many others by the promise of Ôla bonne vieÕ, sunshine, cheap wine, and of course a Ôpied ‡ terreÕ.
Based on real life itÕs written in a humorous style and laced with family observations, childhood anecdotes and notable faux pas from both sides of Ôla mancheÕ. Sometimes witty, sometimes poignant, itÕs littered with scenarios to which many will equate.
Whilst it attempts to put a realistic slant on finding a French dream property, a task that can have you pulling your hair out in bunches, the narrative is balanced with a generous smattering of fun and is entertaining to the end. EnjoyÉ
