Paperback edition of Wright's 2nd memoir of his life living in France, following the success of the 1st one, "C'Est La Folie". An email from an old school friend reintroduces him to Alice, a paid-up city girl who speaks only 3 words of French, has an expensive shoe habit, and deep-rooted mistrust of the countryside. She also lives and works in Baltimore, USA. Can their love survive? *Also appeared in April Buyer's Notes*
Synopsis
Three years into his solo adventure in rural France, Michael Wright has everything he ever wanted: a ramshackle house, several manly power tools, a cat, a grand piano and a vintage aircraft. Yet the lovelier his life becomes, the lonelier he feels. Three unfulfilled wishes return to haunt him.
