Told in the inimitable style which has already won the author an army of followers, Rene & Me is a sometimes hilarious, sometimes moving and always captivating celebration of human nature, people and, above all, life and living. René & Me tells the story of the author and his wife's attempts to live off the land and their wits at an old mill in an isolated corner of Normandy. George East and his wife Donella are now living half-way up what passes as a mountain in the Finistere department of Brittany.
