The character of France and the French people has been captured in words beautifully and the hilarious exploits of George his wife Donella, their neighbours and Cato the cat (remember the chap from the Pink Panther) will have you laughing nearly all the way through the book.
George East and his wife Donella are now living half-way up what passes as a mountain in the Finistere department of Brittany. Along with four chickens, two goats, Lupin the werecat and Milly the collie-cross, the couple are embedded in a hamlet with a population of just 11, which nestles at the bottom of a track leading up to hundreds of acres of moorland and granite crags.

Another year in the life of George and Donella East.
A really funny insight to the characters, animals, and day to day life of their little corner of France on the Cotentin Pennisular.
George has that wonderful ability 'to tell it how it is' he brings his friends into your living rooms, and your hearts. A must read for anyone contemplating buying a home anywhere in France.
May I suggest that you also read Home and Dry in France, René and Me, and French Letters, all by the same author.

The situations that he finds himself are farcical as he seems to blunder (as I'm sure we all do) through life.
He really has a feel for the ridiculous things that happen to us all.
